Dechert Receives Chambers USA Award for Excellence 2009 for Products Liability
If the faithful readers will permit me a non-substantive note: I was pleased to learn that the product liability practice group here at Dechert, which I co-chair, has been selected as the recipient of the Chambers USA Award for Excellence 2009 for Products Liability. These awards "honor outstanding lawyers and law firms across the USA, reflecting both pre-eminence in key practice areas, and achievements over the last 12 months."
The other nominees, all fine firms, included A&P, Bartlit Beck, Kaye Scholer, Shook Hardy, Sidley, and Williams & Connolly. Dechert has had the privilege of working with lawyers from several of these firms in the "virtual law firm" model in mass torts.
Certainly, this recognition reflects the hard work and talents of all the partners, counsel, associates, staff attorneys, and paralegals in our group. It also stems from the confidence and trust placed in us by the clients who come to us for advice and assistance on many of their most challenging product liability and mass tort issues.
(Your humble blogger was again listed nationally among Product Liability lawyers, as well.)
