Firm recognized with two National Tier 2 rankings for Real Estate Law and Litigation, along with top-tier recognition in New York City

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2026 – Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., one of New York City’s preeminent real estate law firms, has earned national and regional recognition in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms®, with rankings in both Real Estate Law and Litigation – Real Estate.

The firm received National Tier 2 rankings in both practice areas, along with a Regional Tier 1 ranking in New York City for Real Estate Law and a Regional Tier 2 ranking for Litigation – Real Estate. The Tier 1 designation places Rosenberg & Estis among the highest-ranked firms for Real Estate Law in New York City.

“We’re particularly pleased to be recognized for both our transactional and litigation practices, which are central to the work we do for our clients,” said Michael Lefkowitz, Managing Member of Rosenberg & Estis. “Real estate matters are rarely straightforward, and our clients count on us to help them navigate complex transactions and resolve disputes. These rankings are a welcome acknowledgment of the depth of experience our attorneys bring to that work every day.”

Established in 2010, Best Law Firms evaluates law firms nationwide through a process incorporating client assessments, peer feedback and information submitted by participating firms. To qualify for consideration in a practice area, a firm must have at least one attorney recognized in the corresponding edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.

Four Rosenberg & Estis attorneys were named in the 2027 editions of Best Lawyers. Perennial honorees Deborah E. Riegel and Luise A. Barrack were once again recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, joined this year by first-time honoree Daniel M. Bernstein. David J. Rosenberg earned his first recognition in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.

The individual recognitions span the firm’s real estate litigation, affordable housing, property tax incentives, land use and development practices, reflecting the breadth of legal services Rosenberg & Estis provides to New York’s real estate industry.

The firm has a 50-year legacy of exceptionalism in the industry, representing some of the city’s leading property owners, developers, investors, lenders and other industry participants across a broad range of transactions, regulatory matters and litigation.
