Hodgson Russ Partner Named as BTI Client Service All-Star

Hodgson Russ LLP is pleased to share that Craig M. Fischer, a partner in the firm’s Corporate & Securities Practice, has been named as a BTI Client Service All-Star for 2024 by BTI Consulting Group. The prestigious All-Star list highlights lawyers who deliver “the absolute best client service.”

Mr. Fischer represents domestic and international clients in a range of industries on a variety of business transactions and general corporate issues.  He particularly focuses on representing companies in a range of securities offerings including equity offerings, registered and non-registered high-yield and investment-grade debt offerings, exchange offers and tender offers, and in merger and acquisition transactions. He also advises publicly traded companies on compliance with U.S. securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements, on preparation of Exchange Act reports, and on other corporate governance matters.

For 23 years, the BTI Client Service All-Stars has been the only ranking and attorney recognition relying solely on client feedback. Top legal decision makers define, delineate, and designate who is best – based on real-time experience and comparison. Those decision makers identify attorneys who continue to step-up customer service to world-class levels.

According to BTI Client Service Consulting Group, “This is the hardest – and most meaningful – ranking and recognition in the world. No one gets on this list unless a top legal decision maker recognizes them, without prompt or suggestion, along with a good reason why. No law firm or company can pay, influence, or refer themselves. Attorneys only get on this list by outperforming everyone else.”

"I strive for clients to view me as an integral part of their team and a trusted counselor who provides thoughtful, business-oriented solutions,” said Mr. Fischer. “In order to build these long-term relationships, I aim to be responsive, proactive, and deliver excellent work product and to understand my clients’ businesses and corporate cultures, all with the ultimate objective of making my clients’ lives easier and helping them to achieve their goals."

A client praised Mr. Fischer’s commitment to client service, telling BTI: “Craig's client focus is evidenced by how super responsive he is and his skill in dealing with our team from top to bottom.”
