In recognition of its insurance regulatory law, governmental consulting and litigation expertise, Reactions magazine’s 2009 Legal Survey ranked Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate as one of the top two law firms in the United States for the second consecutive year.

Citing global economy-driven concerns of increased litigation and staying abreast of intensifying regulation, Reactions Legal Survey respondents, who consisted primarily of in-house counsel at insurers, reinsurers and brokers, once again rated Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate above vastly larger, multi-national law firms. 

In addition to legal expertise and ability, other qualities factored into the legal rankings included insurance industry knowledge, reliability, value, transparency and reputation.  Survey questions were grouped into geographic regions and areas of expertise.  Respondents were from Bermuda, the U.S., Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

 “Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate has challenged the global economic downturn to experience unprecedented 2009 growth, which we directly attribute to our longstanding industry relationships that now transcend international borders,” Senior Partner Mike Colodny said.
