By International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP announced today that 105 lawyers in 12 of the Firm's offices were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2014. In addition, eight lawyers from the Firm's Anchorage, Fargo, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City offices have been named Best Lawyers' 2014 Lawyers of the Year.
"This is a much deserved recognition of the excellence of Dorsey's lawyers across our many practice areas and our geographic platform," noted Dorsey Managing Partner Ken Cutler. "That excellence translates into superb service to our clients every day."
First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive annual peer-review survey. More than 50,000 attorneys cast more than five million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in the same and related specialties. Because of the rigorous and transparent methodology used by Best Lawyers, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
The lawyers listed in Best Lawyers do not decide in which legal specialties they are listed. They are included in specialties as a result of the votes they receive from their peers. The specialties listed are based on information from a variety of sources. For more information, visit the Best Lawyers website.
Listed below are the Dorsey lawyers named as Best Lawyers, the specialty in which they are named, the first year they were listed and their office location.
