Three Robins Kaplan Partners Named BTI Client Service All-Stars

Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that partners Jeffrey Gleason, Scott Johnson, and Christopher Larus have been recognized as 2024 BTI Client Service All-Stars by the BTI Consulting Group.

The BTI Client Service All-Stars report is the gold standard for law firms and corporate counsel alike to identify the attorneys delivering truly superior client service.  According to BTI, the only way to be included in The BTI Client Service All-Stars is through an unprompted, unequivocal recommendation from corporate counsel. No law firm or attorney can submit a name or pay to be included on this list. No firm can nominate an attorney or submit corporate counsel names to be interviewed. The 2024 BTI Client Service All-Stars are identified solely and exclusively by corporate counsel.

Of the 148 law firms recognized, Robins Kaplan was one of the just 33 firms with three or more attorneys named to the list.

“Commitment to client service is one of the core values at Robins Kaplan and a key differentiator for our firm,” said Anthony Froio, the firm’s Chair of the Executive Board and Managing Partner. “Jeff, Scott, and Chris’s recognition as BTI Client Service All-Stars highlights their dedication and commitment to client service, and is among the best examples of our firm’s focus on providing outstanding service to our clients.”
