Clouse Brown has announced that Best Law Firms has once again selected the firm for a Tier 1 ranking in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in the publication’s 2027 edition. Clouse Brown was recognized in four areas of employment practice:
- Employment Law – Individuals
- Employment Law – Management
- Labor Law – Management
- Litigation – Labor and Employment
The recognition continues the firm’s unbroken run of Best Law Firms honors since its founding.
Eligibility for Best Law Firms starts with individual recognition: A firm must have at least one attorney named to the current Best Lawyers in America list. This year, founding partners Keith Clouse and Alyson Brown were joined on the 2027 Best Lawyers list by trial attorney Rachel Z. Ullrich. Mr. Clouse was also named Lawyer of the Year in Dallas/Fort Worth for both employment law – individuals and litigation – labor and employment.
Firmwide, Clouse Brown has also been recognized by the prestigious Chambers USA: Spotlight in labor and employment in the publication’s 2026 edition, and Mr. Clouse was individually ranked in Chambers USA’s labor and employment category.
“Our consistent recognitions by numerous respected legal guides is meaningful to us, but our priority has always been the client work, not the accolades,” said Mr. Clouse. “Clear advice and thoughtful advocacy are always the goals for the entire team.”
That commitment to client service also guides the firm’s growth. In June, Clouse Brown welcomed Ms. Ullrich and litigator Cheryl L. Mann to the firm, adding depth to the practice’s focus on senior executives, business owners, employers, and professional groups.
Best Law Firms determines its rankings using client feedback, peer review from leading attorneys and detailed firm data.
