The 2025 edition of Benchmark Litigation — one of the most respected guides to the U.S. legal profession — has honored Burford Perry partners Robert Burford and Matt Parks for their expertise in complex commercial litigation.
Mr. Burford earned repeat recognition as a Litigation Star, Benchmark Litigation’s highest honor. Mr. Parks is named a Benchmark Future Star, a designation reserved for attorneys Benchmark Litigation has identified as being on track for Litigation Star recognition.
