Tabet DiVito & Rothstein (TDR) again received a Tier 2 designation in the categories of Litigation-Patent and Patent Law for the Chicago metropolitan area; it was ranked in Tier 3 in the category of Litigation-Patent nationally.

To be eligible for a “Best Law Firms” designation, a firm must have at least one lawyer listed in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America, an annual publication that identifies the top four percent of attorneys in the United States.
