MINNEAPOLIS (Oct. 16, 2006) — The international law firm of Dorsey & Whitney LLP today announced that 74 of its attorneys are included in The Best Lawyers in America 2007.  A complete list appears below.

The Best Lawyers in America selects attorneys based on surveys in which thousands of top U.S. lawyers evaluate their professional peers.

“We’re thrilled to receive this external validation of our work. The Best Lawyers in America is respected as a source of independent, unbiased information on the legal profession,” said Peter Hendrixson, Dorsey’s managing partner. “It’s also gratifying that so many of our offices – from our largest to our smallest – were represented. It speaks to the high level of quality that we maintain firmwide.”
