Topics addressed include corporate governance and compliance issues, the fiduciary duty of board members, and civil litigation tactics and techniques.
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
Lawyers listed in Best Lawyers have no say in deciding in which practice areas they are included. They are voted into practice areas entirely as a result of the votes they receive from their peers.
