Third Jimerson Birr Partner Becomes Multiyear Recipient of Statewide Legal Elite Honor

Jacksonville, Fla. – June 28, 2021 – Jimerson Birr is proud to announce partners James O. “Joby” Birr, III and C. Ryan Maloney have been recognized among Florida Trend’s 2021 Legal Elite™.

This is the second consecutive year Maloney has earned the distinction, becoming the third multiyear honoree at the firm, joining Birr and managing partner Charles B. Jimerson. The 2021 award is the fifth for Birr.

The full 2021 Florida’s Legal Elite™ list represents just over one percent of active Florida Bar members, including attorneys in private practice as well as top government and non-profit attorneys who practice in the state.

This is the eighteenth year that Florida Trend Magazine has released its annual list of the top attorneys in Florida. The peer-reviewed resource listing includes the state’s preeminent licensed and practicing attorneys who are believed to embody the award’s commitment to excellence and professionalism in their practice.

“Knowing that our peers place trust in the quality of work, and perhaps, more importantly, the character of our lawyers, is a great reflection of the firm we always strive to be,” said Jimerson. “We are committed to handling each matter with the same quality, care, attention to detail and respect as if we were representing ourselves, and I commend Joby and Ryan for leading by example.”
