June 2007 - For the second year in a row, BLB&G
has received the top ranking in the field of plaintiff securities
litigation in Chambers and Partners’ 2007 Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business
(“Chambers”).
The practice area, "Litigation-Securities
Mainly Plaintiff," was created by Chambers last year to "recognize the importance of a select number of firms
who do high-profile work in the area." Chambers’ rankings assess the reputations
and expertise of business lawyers in 175 countries across the world and are compiled based
on thousands of in-depth interviews conducted with clients.
Its rankings and directory are available online at
www.chambersandpartners.com.
This year, Chambers
gives the same level of high praise to BLB&G,
citing its transition to "center stage...in securities litigation."
According to Chambers, BLB&G took up "permanent residence
in the utmost echelon of the plaintiff's Bar" following its
multi-billion dollar victory in
WorldCom and
notes the
recent multi-million dollar settlements in
Williams,
HealthSouth,
and Nortel as a measure of the firm's "power
and effectiveness." BLB&G is "[d]eemed 'honest and
impassioned' by observers...[and] looks set - as time
advances - to add even greater luster to an already shining
reputation."
In the "Individuals" category
for the same practice area, “Litigation - Securities Mainly
Plaintiff,” Chambers gives BLB&G Partners
Max Berger and
Sean
Coffey the top lawyer ranking for the second year in a row.
Dubbed as a "formidable duo," Messrs. Berger and
Coffey are described as no
"stranger(s) to complex disputes that attract high levels
of interest."
