Forty-five lawyers from Friday, Eldredge & Clark were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2012. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 41,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.9 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice. Below is a listing of the included lawyers by specialty:
