MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 19, 2008) – Eighty-two lawyers from Dorsey & Whitney LLP will be included in the 2009 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
Ten Dorsey offices are represented on the list. Dorsey also earned number-one rankings in multiple states and cities for legal practice areas such as commercial litigation, mergers and acquisitions law, labor and employment law, environmental law and more.
The Best Lawyers in America is regarded by both the legal profession and the public as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. Attorneys are selected for the designation based on surveys in which thousands of top U.S. lawyers evaluate their professional peers. The 2009 edition of Best Lawyers will be published in December 2008.
Dorsey Managing Partner Marianne Short said, “The Best Lawyers in America is a trusted, independent source, and we value their recognition. Dorsey’s strong showing reflects the individual and collective efforts of our attorneys. It is also a tribute to our clients, who provide us the opportunity for interesting legal work and expect us to perform at the highest levels.”
