Ulmer & Berne LLP Ranked Seventh Largest Law Firm by Crain's Cleveland Business

CLEVELAND--(Business Wire)--
Ulmer & Berne LLP, a major Ohio-based law firm with four offices
throughout the Midwest, announced today that it has been ranked as the
seventh largest law firm in Cleveland by Crain's Cleveland Business
for the second year in a row.

"We were founded in Cleveland and are celebrating our 100th
Anniversary this year," stated managing partner Kip Reader. "We
started out as two attorneys and now we are the 7th largest firm in
the area with three additional offices outside of Cleveland. I think
that says a lot and we look forward to serving our clients for the
next 100 years."

According to Crain's Cleveland Business, staff research, surveys
and the most recent references available were used to produce the
listings.

Ulmer & Berne LLP, established in 1908 and celebrating its 100th
Anniversary this year, is one of Ohio's largest law firms. In a survey
of Fortune 500 companies by Corporate Counsel magazine, Ulmer & Berne
has been chosen as a Go-To Law Firm(R) for both 2007 and 2008. Less
than one-half of one percent of all the law firms in the US and abroad
received this distinction. Also, in 2007, the Firm was recognized in
The BTI Consulting Group's survey of corporate counsel as one of only
85 firms nationally that "delivers the best value for the dollar."

A full-service Firm with approximately 175 attorneys in Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Chicago, Ulmer & Berne represents publicly
traded and privately held companies, financial institutions,
pharmaceutical companies, family businesses, international joint
ventures and affiliations, investor groups, start-ups and emerging
businesses, public bodies and nonprofit organizations. For more
