Signature Bank Ranked #2 in the U.S. in Three Categories of The National Law Journal’s “Best of” Survey for Third Consecutive Year
Signature Bank (Nasdaq: SBNY), a New York-based, full-service commercial bank, announced today it ranked second in the U.S. in three categories of The National Law Journal’s “Best of 2021,” its 10th annual readers’ poll. The categories include Business Bank, Private Bank and Attorney Escrow Services. This marks the third consecutive year where Signature Bank placed #2 nationally in all three categories of The National Law Journal’s annual survey.
Each year, The National Law Journal, an ALM-published legal trade publication, polls the legal community nationally, offering an opportunity for readers, along with members of the legal community, to cast their votes for the best providers across a range of services and goods available to the legal profession. The National Law Journal’s “Best of” survey showcases businesses serving the legal industry that distinguish themselves amongst their competitors.
The 2021 rankings, which were revealed in the March 2021 edition of this national legal trade publication, indicate the votes of thousands of attorneys and other legal professionals across more than 60 legal-related categories. The voting process is reflective of a purely democratic process.
“Over the years, Signature Bank has built a solid reputation throughout the legal community nationally, as evidenced by our strong placement for three consecutive years in this survey. The recognition from attorneys nationwide is indicative of the service levels and commitment to client care our veteran private client banking teams deliver through our single-point-of-contact model. We thank our clients for taking the time to show their loyalty and express the value they place in our institution. We also appreciate the vehicle The National Law Journal offers through this yearly ranking,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph J. DePaolo.
“Similarly, Signature Bank was also named the top bank in the same three categories in the annual ‘Best of’ survey issued by The National Law Journal’s sister publication, the New York Law Journal. 2020 marked the 11th consecutive year where Signature Bank earned a top three position in one or more of these same categories in that outlet’s comparable survey. Our broad acceptance from the legal community both nationally and throughout metropolitan New York demonstrates our dedication to the legal community overall,” DePaolo concluded.
Additionally, Signature Bank earned a place in the Hall of Fame of both The National Law Journal and the New York Law Journal readers’ polls. This honor is awarded only to those entities that continually placed in the same "Best of" categories for at least three of the past four years.
