ATLANTA (September 15, 2010) -- Five practice areas at Smith, Gambrell & Russell have been selected for inclusion in the 2010 U.S. News - Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" rankings.

The following practice areas were ranked Tier 2 for the Atlanta metropolitan area: Antitrust Law, Construction Law, Environmental Law, Intellectual Property Law and Trusts & Estates Law.

These inaugural rankings, presented in tiers both nationally and by metropolitan area or by state, showcase 8,782 different law firms ranked in one or more of 81 practice areas. Full data is available online at www.usnews.com/bestlawfirms.
