Chambers USA Recognizes Dorsey Attorneys, Practice Groups


MINNEAPOLIS (June 30, 2008) — Forty-five attorneys at global law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP have been selected as leading U.S. lawyers by independent legal research firm Chambers and Partners, the leading provider of client-led intelligence on the legal profession.

Of the 45 Dorsey attorneys ranked, more than half were listed in “Band 1,” the highest Chambers ranking, with another 12 in Band 2.

Chambers also ranked many Dorsey practice groups – including Commercial Litigation, M&A, Labor & Employment, Intellectual Property, Real Estate and more – among the best. Across multiple states, seven Dorsey practice areas earned Band 1 honors, while four practice areas earned Band 2 honors.

For the third year in a row, Dorsey also earned a national ranking in Native American Law.
