Barton LLP has been recognized by Chambers USA’s New York Spotlight guide for 2027.
The Chambers Spotlight guide offers a guide to exceptional small to mid-size firms in New York’s legal market that stand out in their local markets as a trusted resource and offer a credible alternative to BigLaw. This guide focuses on top-performing talent, exclusively targeting firms with fewer than 75 attorneys.
This year, Barton was recognized specifically for its work in the practice areas of Labor & Employment and Media & Entertainment–areas for which Chambers has recognized Barton on a national scale as well.
Let by Richard H. Block, Philip S. Mortensen, and Brigette Renaud, Barton’s Labor & Employment practice represents employers–from Fortune 500 companies and financial firms to prestigious cultural institutions–in collective bargaining, union campaigns, agency proceedings, and complex employment litigation. Barton also handles day-to-day employment counseling matters (such as employee classification, wage & hour disputes, and employment agreements) and advises on ERISA and executive compensation.
