Holland & Hart LLP is pleased to announce that it has received high honors from Chambers USA in the 2013 Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business guide. The firm is nationally ranked in the practice areas of Environment, Native American Law and Projects: Renewables & Alternative Energy. A total of 82 Holland & Hart attorneys and 35 of the firm's Chambers-defined practice areas, by market, were recognized this year.
In addition, three attorneys are nationally ranked for their practices: Trip Mackintosh (International Trade: Export Controls & Economic Sanctions), Thomas Sansonetti (Native American Law) and Mark Sheridan (Native American Law).
"Year after year, Holland & Hart's practices and attorneys are highly recognized by our clients and peers in Chambers USA and other well-regarded publications," said firm chair John Husband. "We are proud of this recognition, but we are more proud of the individual attorneys and the values that help us to stand out among the nation's legal elite."
For the current directory, Chambers & Partners' researchers conducted thousands of interviews with lawyers and their clients. Rankings were determined by technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities valued by the client. The guide ranks leading national and local law firms and leading lawyers in major jurisdictions throughout the country.
