Signature Bank has been named Best Business Bank, Best Private Bank and Best Attorney Escrow Services provider by the New York Law Journal in its ninth annual survey of the New York legal community. The rankings are part of the publication’s “Best of” survey supplement.

2018 also marks the ninth straight year that Signature Bank has earned a top three position in one or more of those same categories, thereby earning the institution a place in New York Law Journal’s Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is awarded to companies that have placed in “Best of” for at least three of the past four years.

Since 2010, Signature Bank has consistently secured the top spot or ranked in the top three in the Best Business Bank, Best Private Bank and Best Attorney Escrow Services provider categories. For the past nine consecutive years, Signature Bank has been voted the Best Business Bank four times. It is also the eighth consecutive year Signature Bank was named in the top three of the Best Private Bank category (number one twice), and the seventh consecutive year it appeared in the top three in the Best Attorney Escrow Services provider category, including ranking number one for the fourth time.

The rankings reflect the votes of 9,500+ attorneys and other legal professionals, who were presented an opportunity to vote in more than 80 legal-related categories. The voting process is purely democratic, and results represent the candid opinions of New York Law Journal readers and members of the New York legal community.

“To be recognized as number one in all three categories is extremely rewarding for all our colleagues. Signature Bank’s single-point-of-contact, client-centric model has enabled us to stand out, particularly in the legal arena, where we serve many loyal clients. The trust and confidence Signature Bank earned from the legal professionals with whom we work are the reasons we received top placement in all three categories and also why we continually secured top billing over the past nine years,” said Signature Bank president and CEO Joseph J. DePaolo. “We thank our clients for their ongoing commitment to Signature Bank, and our colleagues for their unrelenting dedication. We very much appreciate the opportunity to serve the legal community, and remain dedicated to catering to its needs.”
