97 Holland & Hart Attorneys Named Best Lawyers in America

DENVER (September 24, 2008) - Best Lawyers in America has included 97 Holland & Hart attorneys in its 2009 list of leading lawyers. The firm has also been listed as number one in more than 85 additional areas, including recognition as the top environmental and natural resources firm in the country and the top firm in Colorado and Wyoming.

"It is a great honor to have our peers recognize so many of Holland & Hart's attorneys and practice areas," said John Husband, chairman of the firm. "These rankings confirm our presence as the leading firm in the Rocky Mountain region and as a firm with a national reputation in natural resources and environmental law.  The rankings lend support to our strategic decision to combine with the Nevada firm Hale Lane, since almost half of our 22 new partners in Nevada are listed." 

Best Lawyers, the oldest peer-review publication in the legal profession, compiles its annual lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The 2009 edition, which includes Holland & Hart's most recent rankings, will be released in December.
