“We are very proud that all three of our departments have been ranked in the Chambers guide this year. That is a great credit to all the hard work of our brilliant lawyers and the exceptional service they provide to our clients.

Every one of our lawyers has contributed to this achievement and shares in the recognition. I want to give special thanks to the dedication, commitment, and leadership of the partners in our three departments. They drive our mission to bring justice to all.
