Thrift McLemore is proud to announce that the firm has been recognized by Chambers and Partners in the Chambers USA Regional Spotlight Guide 2026 as one of the top mid-sized law firms in Georgia. This honor places Thrift McLemore among an elite group of small and mid-sized firms across the nation that provide clients with a credible alternative to large national and international law firms. The recognition reflects the firm’s exceptional legal expertise, dedication to client service, and the strength of its talented attorneys across multiple practice areas.
Acknowledged as one of the most respected legal ranking organizations in the world, Chambers and Partners conducts extensive market analysis each year to identify firms that stand out in their regions for the quality of their work and their commitment to excellence. While the traditional Chambers USA Guide focuses on large national and international practices, the 2026 Regional Spotlight Guide highlights boutique and mid-size firms that deliver high-caliber, experienced legal representation while maintaining the accessibility, responsiveness, and cost-effectiveness often associated with smaller practices.
Thrift McLemore built its reputation for success in the areas of commercial litigation, real estate, and corporate law on a foundation of practical problem-solving, strategic insight, and an unwavering commitment to achieving efficient, result-oriented outcomes for its clients. Whether handling complex business disputes or structuring sophisticated real estate and corporate transactions, the attorneys at Thrift McLemore balance the desire for successful outcomes with the practical needs of their clients.
Founding Partners Craig Thrift and Ryan McLemore expressed their appreciation for the recognition and credited the firm’s growth and excellent reputation to the dedication of the entire Thrift McLemore team coupled with the trust clients place in the firm.
“We are honored to be recognized by Chambers and Partners as one of Georgia’s top mid-sized law firms,” said Craig Thrift. “This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional legal services while maintaining the personal attention and value that our clients expect.”
Ryan McLemore added, “Our firm was founded on the idea that sophisticated legal work should be accessible to all clients. Moreover, we have built our practice around the belief that each legal issue is unique and, therefore, each client deserves personalized service and advocacy. Being included in the Chambers USA Spotlight Guide validates our beliefs and highlights the success of our client-focused approach to the practice of law.”
The Chambers USA Regional Spotlight Guide represents a new approach to legal rankings, shining a light on firms that “punch above their weight” in competitive regional markets, providing partner-level attention, regional insight, and high-quality representation. Firms included in the guide are selected based on Chambers’ independent research, client feedback, personal interviews, and decades of experience evaluating the U.S. legal industry. When evaluating firms for inclusion in a Regional Spotlight Guide, Chambers and Partners examines more than 100 firms within local markets to identify firms with strong community reputations, proven success in 18 different practice areas, and a deep understanding of regional courts, laws, and business landscapes.
Thrift McLemore’s selection for this prestigious recognition highlights the firm’s client-focused approach to legal representation as well as the firm’s dedication to excellence, collaboration, and the pursuit of practical solutions to complex legal challenges. As a leader in Geogia’s legal community, Thrift McLemore is honored to be included in Chambers USA Regional Spotlight Guide 2026, and we look forward to continued success in the future.
