Friday, Eldredge & Clark is pleased to announce that five of the firm’s lawyers have been named "Local Litigation Stars" in Benchmark Litigation’s 2018 edition. The firm is described in the guide as offering "a strong corporate practice that complements general business and commercial litigation capabilities regarded by peers as second to none. The firm’s expertise extends well beyond the commercial realm, however, encompassing more than fifty practice areas, including government affairs, regulatory law, employment and healthcare. In-depth understanding of horse racing and gaming law is one of the more niche practice areas the firm has cornered over the years."
Benchmark Litigation’s list reflects those individuals who were recommended consistently as reputable and effective litigators by clients and peers.
Kevin A. Crass - General Commercial
William Mell Griffin III - General Commercial, Product Liability and Securities
Robert S. Shafer - Appellate
James M. Simpson - Environmental, General Commercial, Product Liability, Toxic Tort
William A. Waddell, Jr. - General Commercial, Securities
