Chambers also recognized the firm for its Litigation: Mainly Plaintiffs work in Alabama and for its Antitrust: Plaintiff and Product Liability: Plaintiffs practices among all firms nationwide.
In addition to these departmental honors, Chambers awarded the following rankings to DiCello Levitt attorneys.
Antitrust: Mainly Plaintiff—New York and USA
For the second consecutive year, Chambers USA commended DiCello Levitt’s antitrust practice group for its “impressive bench” of attorneys, including partner and practice area leader Greg Asciolla, who received Band 1 honors and was described by clients as an “extremely strong advocate,” “very strategic,” and “a joy to work with.”
