Arent Fox Adds Practice Groups and Lawyers to 2007 Chambers Rankings
WASHINGTON— June 15, 2007— Arent Fox again achieved a Tier 1 ranking for its Washington real estate practice and a Tier 2 ranking for its national political law practice in the 2007 edition of the Chambers USA guide. In addition, the Washington intellectual property practice and its national international trade practice were recognized in this year’s highly respected legal directory.
The 2007 Chambers USA guide also selected a number of Arent Fox lawyers for its individual rankings. Two real estate attorneys were again designated as “Senior Statesmen,” and nine were rated as Tier 3 or 4 in their individual practice areas. One lawyer is a new addition to the Washington health care rankings, and two jumped from “Up and Coming” in 2006 to Tier 4 in 2007.
Arent Fox Managing Partner William R. Charyk said, “I’m delighted that the Chambers USA guide has recognized more of our lawyers and practices. The high 2007 ratings are based on qualities that are most valued by clients. This year’s directory demonstrates our commitment to give clients superior service, experience, ability and dedication.”
Chambers USA is one of most prestigious guides in the legal industry. Published annually by London-based Chambers and Partners, the guides are recognized for their objective, interview-based research.
