The international research firm, Chambers and Partners, has announced that BatesCarey LLP is ranked as one of the elite eight law firms in Illinois in the area of  Insurance: Dispute Resolution.  Chambers’ worldwide research also awarded individual ranking recognition for attorneys Robert J. Bates, Jr., Scott L. Carey, and Adam H. Fleischer.

The USA 2016 Rankings describe BatesCarey LLP as:

"Not only the finest coverage attorneys I have worked with, but the best attorneys overall. No other firm has come close to providing the same kind of consultation and support in our day-to-day work. They are well staffed, very responsive and offer us creative approaches to deal with complex problems. They are also a real pleasure to work with."

Robert J. Bates, Jr., a founding partner, was described as “one of Chicago’s leading coverage attorneys and a shrewd, hard-hitting litigator acting for industry clients in their most complex insurance and reinsurance disputes.”

Scott L. Carey, also a founding partner, is lauded for his “wide-ranging insurance practice, including deep experience in the Bermuda insurance market, as well as considerable expertise in claims related to railroad accidents.”

Adam H. Fleischer is described as “an exceptional attorney—intelligent and an excellent advocate.  He understands the insurance industry, has good business judgment and provides excellent counsel.”

For over two decades, Chambers has been the most respected legal ranking service in the world.  Lawyers and law firms are ranked based on the in-depth, objective investigation of 150 full-time editors and researchers who interview to lawyers and clients across the globe to glean first-hand knowledge and critique of the subject firms and counsel.
