Lippes Mathias LLP has been recognized by Buffalo Business First as one of its 2025 Companies of the Year. The firm was one of 10 organizations selected for the honor, representing the legal category among a diverse group of industries including banking and transportation. 

Each year, the editorial staff at Buffalo Business First selects winners based on their performance over the preceding months, highlighting companies that have achieved significant goals, overcome market challenges, or earned national recognition. The 2025 honorees were chosen for their innovation and success throughout the year. 

The honor highlights another year of steady growth and the strategic professionalization of the firm's leadership through the appointment of three new C-suite members: partner Amy Habib Rittling (chief legal officer), partner Andrew M. Wilson (chief advisory officer), and partner Brian J. Bocketti (chief growth officer). This expansion of leadership coincided with significant investment in the firm's Western New York roots, notably the opening of a 4,000-square-foot Welcome Center and Collaboration Hall at its Buffalo headquarters at 50 Fountain Plaza. Outfitted with advanced video technology, the center supports education and connection for internal and external audiences as the firm continues its national expansion. Additionally, the award recognizes the multiple honors the firm and its attorneys received in 2025, further solidifying its reputation for excellence.
