Local Preti Flaherty attorneys and practice groups have been selected for inclusion in the 2023 Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, the highly regarded directory of leading attorneys and law firms. The recognition is significant as it is a result of independent research and interviews with clients and peers to impartially gauge performance and rank top attorneys and firms throughout the United States, according to a news release from the Preti Flaherty office in Portland.

Attorneys selected for inclusion in the 2023 guide include:

Environment, Maine: Sharon G. Newman, Jeffrey D. Talbert and David B. Van Slyke

Labor & Employment, Maine: Michael G. Messerschmidt

Litigation: General Commercial, Maine: Timothy J. Bryant, Gregory P. Hansel and Sigmund D. Schutz

Litigation: Medical Malpractice & Insurance Defense: Elizabeth A. Campbell

Each attorney was assessed on their technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by their clients. Chambers USA researchers based the rankings on tens of thousands of in-depth interviews with leading attorneys, in-house counsel, and client leadership.
