Lippes Mathias has continued its upward trend in the National Law Journal’s NLJ 500 ranking, placing at No. 204 in 2025. The firm has steadily advanced more than 100 positions over four consecutive years, rising from No. 316 in 2021 to No. 298 in 2022, No. 251 in 2023, and No. 232 in 2024. The NLJ 500, published annually by the National Law Journal and compiled by ALM, ranks the 500 largest U.S. law firms by attorney headcount based on survey data collected from more than 900 firms. 

The firm’s headcount rose from 178 attorneys in 2024 to 219 in 2025, driven by two major combinations completed last year with CCBLaw, a Syracuse-based boutique focused on health care law, and Ward Damon, PL, a full-service firm based in West Palm Beach, Florida, as well as a steady stream of lateral attorneys joining the firm. 

Lippes Mathias is a full-service law firm with nearly 220 attorneys serving clients regionally, nationally, and internationally. With offices in Buffalo, Clarence, Albany, Long Island, New York, Rochester, Syracuse, and Saratoga Springs, N.Y.; Greater Toronto Area; Chicago, Ill.; Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Cleveland, Ohio; San Antonio, Texas; Oklahoma City, Okla. and Washington, D.C., the firm represents publicly and privately-owned companies, private equity and venture capital firms, independent sponsors, real estate developers, financial institutions, municipalities, governmental entities, and individuals.
