Hirschfeld Kraemer Named to BTI’S “Client Service A-Team”
SAN FRANCISCO (Jan. 29, 2018) – Hirschfeld Kraemer (HK) has been named to BTI Consulting Group’s 2018 “Client Service A-Team” list, joining only 318 other law firms nationally to be recognized for offering “best in class levels of service,” as determined by corporate counsel feedback.
“To be an ‘A-Team’ member is a great honor and one that speaks to our firm culture and guiding principle of putting clients first, with a singular focus on offering employers the counsel and support they need to keep their businesses running smoothly,” said Glen E. Kraemer, Co-founder and Co-managing Partner of HK.
BTI’s 2018 “Client Service A-Team” list is based on feedback provided by corporate counsel in more than 15 diverse industries. The consulting group conducted 350 phone interviews, with each respondent asked to: 1) rate a list of activities for delivering outstanding client service; 2) provide insight on how difficult it is to find a law firm that offers targeted activities; and 3) name which firm they considered the best at delivering outstanding service.
In addition to the 2018 “Client Service A-Team,” BTI recently recognized HK with a spot on its “BTI Brand Elite” list – highlighting its status as a brand corporate counsel trusts. The selection was based on more than 630 in-depth interviews at the world’s largest organizations that, collectively, placed HK in the top half of all firms for delivering new and valuable services or behaviors.
Co-founder and Co-managing Partner Stephen J. Hirschfeld individually has garnered recognition on BTI’s “Client Service All-Stars” list. He is one of only five California employment lawyers and one of only 28 employment lawyers in the country to be recognized by clients for “client service excellence.”
