In addition to the firm’s overall recognition, four of the firm’s attorneys have been highly ranked this year as well. Chambers and Partners identifies and ranks the most outstanding law firms and lawyers in over 180 jurisdictions throughout the world.

“We are honored to continue to be ranked among the leading law firms and attorneys in New Jersey,” said John D.

We are pleased that the firm and several of our attorneys have been recognized as leaders in healthcare and real estate law in what is a very competitive market.”

Recognized by Chambers USA every year since 2009, Brach Eichler’s healthcare law practice was ranked as top tier (Band 2) among healthcare law practices in New Jersey for 2020. In its review, Chambers cites sources describing Brach Eichler as “a cutting-edge law firm.” Another source said, “They are always very responsive, provide objective opinions, and give advice that will always be in their clients’ best interest.”

2020 is the fifth year that Brach Eichler’s real estate practice was named among Band 2 firms in New Jersey by Chambers USA, marking the ninth year the practice was recognized overall. Specifically, a Chambers interviewee remarks: “Their strengths include depth of experience, their understanding of our business, their ability to communicate clearly, and their availability.” Adds another: “They know our risk tolerance and their ability to foresee issues is invaluable. They are innovative in commercially reasonable ways, without over-lawyering.”

John D. Fanburg (Band 1, Healthcare) is the managing member of the firm and chairs its healthcare law practice. He is ranked among the top five attorneys in the highest tier.
