Holland & Hart LLP is pleased to announce that it has received high honors from Chambers USA in the 2014 Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business guide. The firm is once again nationally ranked in the practice areas of Environment, Native American Law and Projects: Renewables & Alternative Energy. 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 Safty (Projects: Renewables & Alternative Energy).
A total of 83 Holland & Hart attorneys and 34 of the firm's Chambers-defined practice areas, by market, were recognized this year.
"We are extremely proud of our practice groups and lawyers and their recognition in Chambers. We appreciate that these rankings stem from great client work and strong client feedback, which is what Holland & Hart has always been about,” said Liz Sharrer, Chair of Holland & Hart.
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 covers 45 different practice areas and ranks leading national and local law firms and leading lawyers in major jurisdictions throughout the country.
