(Memphis, TN / August 15, 2019) Baker Donelson is pleased to announce that 284 of its attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2020 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.
Thirty-seven of the Firm's attorneys were also recognized by Best Lawyers® as "Lawyers of the Year," a designation given to a select group of individuals in high-profile specialties in large legal communities. Only one attorney in each community for each specialty is honored.
In addition to the individual attorneys recognized, Baker Donelson is top-listed in the nation in four practice areas: Business Organizations (including LLCs and Partnerships), Commercial Finance Law, Non-Profit/Charities Law and Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants.
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. The 2020 Best Lawyers list is based on exhaustive peer-review surveys in which almost 94,000 eligible attorneys cast more than eleven million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. The publication now covers over 75 countries and 146 practice areas, and Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."
