8 SUPERLAWYERS.COM A TTORNE YS SELEC TED TO SUPER LA WYERS WERE CHOSEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCESS ON PAGE 8.
In this issue of Super Lawyers Business Edition, we feature attorneys who are outstanding
in their areas of business practice. The attorneys included were selected to the 2013 or
2014 Super Lawyers list in business-related practice areas that are divided into five distinct
practice groups: litigation; employment; construction, real estate and environmental;
business and transactions; and intellectual property.
The selection of attorneys to the Super Lawyers list is a rigorous process, as defined below.
(A more detailed description of our process is available at superlawyers.com.)
In addition to a listing of attorneys, we also feature a top law firm section for each practice
group, highlighting firms in four sizes: solo, small, medium and large. These firms were
chosen based on the number of attorneys within the firm who were selected to a 2013 or
2014 Super Lawyers list in business practice areas, in addition to a combination of metrics
indicating the quality of those attorneys, including: the number of years selected to the list,
inclusion on a top list and their average blue ribbon panel scores.
