In 2009, The BTI Consulting Group (Wellesley, MA) published a study that recognized Foley as the best law firm in the country in client service. That study, The BTI Client Service A-Team 2010 Survey of Law Firm Client Service Performance, was conducted with 240 corporate counsel at Fortune 1000 companies. Corporate counsel were asked to rank their firms across 17 categories of client service. Foley was honored in all 17 categories and received highest honors in seven of them. In addition to the first-place client service ranking overall, Foley also was recognized as "the best of the best" among the more than 500 firms included in the survey at: (1) providing value for the dollar; (2) legal skills; (3) advising on business issues; (4) understanding the client's business; (5) handling problems; (6) its commitment to help; and (7) client focus.
