Gardner Law Recognized by Chambers USA 2026

Gardner Law is pleased to announce that the firm has been ranked in the Chambers USA 2026 guide by Chambers and Partners.

About Chambers and Partners

Chambers and Partners is one of the legal industry’s most respected ranking organizations, recognizing leading law firms and lawyers through a research process that includes market analysis, firm submissions, and feedback from clients and other legal professionals.

What Gardner Law's Ranking Means

For Gardner Law, the recognition reflects the firm’s focused work with FDA-regulated companies. The ranking also comes as Gardner Law marks its 10-year anniversary, a milestone year for a boutique firm built around practical, business-oriented counsel in highly regulated industries.

“Being recognized by Chambers is meaningful because it reflects the trust our clients place in us and the standard our team works to meet every day,” said Mark Gardner, Founder and Managing Partner of Gardner Law. “We built Gardner Law to provide sophisticated FDA and healthcare counsel in a way that is practical, responsive, and grounded in the business realities our clients face. This recognition is a credit to the entire team and to the clients who have allowed us to do this work with them.”

Why Gardner Law Earned This Honor

Clients and industry sources interviewed during the Chambers research process highlighted Gardner Law’s depth, responsiveness, and business-oriented approach.

“Gardner Law provides extremely responsive, timely guidance and legal advice for a variety of healthcare matters,” one referee said.

Another noted, “Gardner Law is thoughtful about knowing what the business needs are and fitting their services to that.”

Those comments align with Gardner Law’s broader approach to client service: helping companies address legal, regulatory, compliance, privacy, litigation, and commercial issues with advice that is legally sound, operationally realistic, and tailored to the company’s stage, risk profile, and strategic goals.

“This recognition is especially gratifying because it points to the qualities we want clients to experience in every engagement,” said Amanda Johnston, Partner at Gardner Law. “In regulated industries, clients need more than technical analysis. They need practical judgment, timely guidance, and counsel that fits the business context. Chambers’ recognition reinforces the value of that approach.”

Chambers rankings are organized by practice area and jurisdiction, with law firms and individual lawyers ranked in bands based on the strength of their work, client service, technical legal ability, commercial awareness, diligence, and other qualities valued by clients.

“We are grateful to our clients and colleagues who participated in the Chambers research process,” Gardner said. “Their feedback means a great deal to us and reflects the kind of client experience we work to deliver across every engagement.”

Gardner Law’s Band 2 ranking for Healthcare in Minnesota places the firm among a select group of firms recognized in the category. Other honorees included Dorsey & Whitney, Fredrikson & Byron, Lathrop GPM, Bassford Remele, Faegre Drinker, Robins Kaplan, and Larkin Hoffman. This was the first year that Gardner submitted to Chambers for consideration.
