For Immediate Release

Lancaster, Pa. – Barley Snyder is proud to share that the firm has been ranked as one of the largest law firms in Pennsylvania by The Legal Intelligencer.

PaLaw, a recent supplement published by the daily law journal, reported that Barley Snyder ranks 17th out of 100 law firms in its Annual Report on the Legal Profession based on the number of full-time attorneys. In 2022, the firm previously ranked as the 23rd largest firm in the Commonwealth. The firm’s net gain of 16 additional attorneys in 2023 placed Barley Snyder as the 9th fastest-growing firm in the state based on its increase in the number of attorneys.

“Beyond the numbers, this annual ranking underscores our firm’s commitment to strategic evolution and selecting dedicated colleagues who share our ethos of hard work,” said managing partner Jennifer Craighead Carey. “Our success is driven by the exceptional individuals who form our team. Looking ahead, we’re excited to extend our services to new horizons, broadening our impact across diverse clients and regions.”

In 2023, the firm experienced significant growth. In April, the firm expanded its services through its affiliation with the Lebanon-based law practice Reilly Wolfson. With the transaction, eight attorneys, three paralegals and 15 staff members joined Barley Snyder. During the fall, the firm completed renovations to its Gettysburg, Malvern and Reading offices. The renovations resulted in expanded space for internal and external visitors from across the firm’s footprint. Overall, the firm experienced a 15.5% increase in growth based on the number of new hires in 2023 compared to the previous year.
