Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger Named to 2025 Best Law Firms List

November 7, 2024

SMW once again has been named a Best Law Firm by Best Lawyers, a peer-reviewed guide to lawyers and law firms in the U.S. The firm was previously named to this list in 2024, 2022, and 2020. As in previous years, the firm was again ranked as a highly prestigious National Tier 1 Best Law Firm in Land Use and Zoning Law. New this year, the firm also received a National Tier 2 ranking in two categories, Environmental Law and Litigation – Environmental. SMW was also ranked as a San Francisco Metropolitan Tier 1 firm in Environmental Law, Land Use and Zoning Law, Litigation – Environmental, and Litigation – Land Use and Zoning.

The Best Law Firms list, now in its 15th edition, designates the top-performing law firms in 188 metro jurisdictions across in the country, covering 127 law practice areas. Rankings are decided based on client feedback, peer reviews, reviews by industry leaders, and analysis of data from each law firm. More than 26,000 lawyers provided reviews for the 2025 rankings, and more than 22,000 firms were evaluated. SMW is one of only approximately 3,000 firms that received a national ranking.

Eight SMW attorneys were also named to the Best Lawyers in America 2025 list earlier this year.
