Holland & Hart LLP is pleased to announce that it has received high honors from Chambers USA in the 2015 Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business guide. A total of 85 Holland & Hart attorneys and 33 of the firm's Chambers-defined practice areas, by market, were recognized this year, reinforcing the firm’s leading presence in our seven-state footprint across the Rocky Mountain region.
The firm is once again nationally ranked in the practice areas of Projects: Renewables & Alternative Energy and Environment. 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). Trip Mackintosh and Mark Safty are also ranked by Chambers Global in their respective practice areas.
"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 in-depth telephone interviews of lawyers and clients. Rankings were determined by technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities valued by clients. The guide ranks leading law firms in 45 different practice areas on a state and national level, and leading lawyers in major jurisdictions throughout the country.
