Felhaber Larson was listed again as a Leading Law Firm in the 2016 edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business
The Chambers Guides have been ranking the best law firms and lawyers since 1990, and now cover 185 jurisdictions throughout the world. Chambers ranks both lawyers and law firms based on the research of 150 full-time editors and researchers. They talk to lawyers and clients, conducting in-depth telephone interviews to insure that only the top quality practitioners are selected for this prestigious directory.
We are particularly proud that our Labor & Employment practice section was selected again for Band 1 (the highest level), one of only two law firms in the state to achieve this designation. Four of our section members were selected for special recognition: James Dawson, Paul Zech, Sara McGrane and Penny Phillips.
