Congratulations to the Labor & Employment and Real Estate practice areas. Felhaber made the Top 5 list for Minnesota in the Employment, Mainly Defendant category while our Real Estate section was among the Top 10.

The L&E practice was noted by clients as a "well connected" practice, which "understands business and its environment." PAUL ZECH was noted as a "high energy guy" highly regarded for his "broad exposure to industrial issues." JAN HALVERSON "adapts to what his client wants to achieve" and "his gentle style allows him to deliver difficult messages in a reasonable way." JIM DAWSON was described by clients as "not afraid to play hardball," and "appreciates the diversity of our business." DENNIS MERLEY is regarded by clients "as an expert on EEOC affirmative action issues."

The REAL ESTATE area was described as a midmarket enterprise devoting much of its efforts to development. Major work recognized was a $200 million refinancing for a client with manufacturing and distribution plants in 13 states. DAVID EIDE is known as "Mr. Condominium." His work in structuring and financing multifamily housing and commercial developments has accorded him the "premier position in his niche."

Congratulations to these individuals and to the members of both practice sections on their outstanding achievement!! For more details, log on to www.chambersandpartners.com, and select Chambers USA 2005 Guide.
