New York real estate law firm ranks No. 63 as employees once again recognize its workplace culture
NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 – Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., one of New York City’s preeminent real estate law firms, has been named to Crain’s New York Business’ 2026 Best Places to Work in New York City, marking the fourth consecutive year the firm has earned a spot on the list.
R&E ranked No. 63 in this year’s ranking, extending an unbroken streak that began when the firm first participated in 2023. The recognition is particularly meaningful because employee feedback is a central component of the selection process.
Crain’s New York Business, in partnership with Workforce Research Group, evaluates participating employers based on workplace policies, practices, and demographics, along with confidential employee surveys addressing factors such as workplace culture, employee engagement, benefits, and work-life balance.
“Four consecutive years on this list tells us that we are building the kind of firm where talented people want to work and build their careers,” said Michael E. Lefkowitz, Managing Member of Rosenberg & Estis. “Our attorneys and staff handle increasingly sophisticated and demanding work for our clients, and maintaining a workplace where people feel supported, challenged, and valued is essential to that success.”
The recognition comes during another active year for R&E and its attorneys. The firm promoted eight attorneys across its litigation, transactional, and administrative law practices while continuing to advise clients on some of the most significant legal and regulatory issues affecting New York real estate owners, developers, lenders, and investors. R&E attorneys have been at the forefront of matters involving housing regulation, property taxation, land use and zoning, complex real estate transactions, and high-stakes litigation.
The firm and its attorneys have also received significant industry recognition in 2026. R&E earned a Band 3 ranking for Real Estate: Litigation – New York in the 2026 edition of Chambers USA. Four attorneys were recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America, and U.S. News & World Report named R&E to its Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms list for the third consecutive year.
R&E first appeared on Crain’s Best Places to Work list at No. 98 in 2023. Its No. 63 ranking this year extends the firm’s four-year streak and reflects continued recognition of the workplace experience R&E provides to its attorneys and staff.
