Haynes and Boone, LLP has again been honored in the annual Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business 2016 directory. The widely-respected legal publication singled out 19 firm practice groups and 52 individual lawyers for recognition.
In addition, Dallas Partner Nina Cortell was named a Star Individual, a ranking given to lawyers with exceptional recommendations in their field who set the standard by which others are judged.
Three firm lawyers received a banding for the first time: Kit Addleman, Purvi Patel Albers and Sean McKenna. Meanwhile, two are making their debut as recognized practitioners: Jeff Dorrill (Tax, Texas) and Scott Wallace (Corporate/M&A, Texas). Additionally, the firm earned a new ranking in Healthcare (Texas).
“As a firm, we could not be happier with our consistently strong presence in the Chambers directories,” said firm Managing Partner Tim Powers. “We pride ourselves in stellar client service and high-quality work, and these results are confirmation that we are respected for such by our clients and peers.”
