March 14, 2013

For the third consecutive year, Chambers Global: The World's Leading Lawyers for Business has included the firm’s International Trade and Privacy groups in its worldwide rankings.

In addition, several of the firm’s attorneys were again singled out by Chambers Global 2013 as leaders in their field. Privacy Practice chair Kirk J. Nahra, who was named a Leading Lawyer in Privacy & Data Security, garnered praise for his "almost encyclopedic knowledge of the law and its application." Mr. Nahra was recommended in particular for his extensive experience in health care privacy, compliance and data security law.

International Trade Practice chair Alan H. Price was selected as a Leading Lawyer in the area of Trade Remedies & Trade Policy, earning accolades from peers for his leadership of the group. Clients described Mr. Price as "an excellent professional, very knowledgeable and with vast experience in the field." Timothy C. Brightbill was also named a Leading Lawyer in the same field, earning recognition for his successful antidumping work related to China.

In addition, Charles Owen Verrill, Jr., who serves as chairman emeritus of the International Trade Practice, was again named a Senior Statesmen. Noting his "sterling reputation" built through decades of work in trade remedies and policy work, Chambers added that fellow attorneys "think enormously highly" of Mr. Verrill.

The Chambers Global rankings span the legal markets of more than 180 countries and are based on extensive interviews of clients and attorneys.
