SALT LAKE CITY—August 31, 2011—Clyde Snow & Sessions is pleased to announce that six of the firm's lawyers were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2011. This marks the 12th consecutive year Clyde Snow attorneys have been voted by their peers as offering some of the best legal representation in the country.
Clyde Snow attorneys were named to Best Lawyers through an exhaustive peer-review process involving nearly 4 million of the country's top attorneys. Attorneys were awarded based on work in specific practice areas. Selected attorneys and practice areas include the following:
Clark W. Sessions—Family Law and Family Law Mediation
Steven E. Clyde—Environmental Law, Natural Resources Law, Water Law
Edwin C. Barnes—Construction Law, Real Estate Law
Perrin R. Love—Commercial Litigation, Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law, Litigation-Intellectual Property
Charles R. Brown—Tax Law
Dean C. Andreasen—Family Law and Family Law Mediation
"We feel privileged to have been included in these prestigious rankings for the past 12 years," said Clyde Snow Vice President Steve Clyde. "Pursuing the best solutions for our clients and maintaining practice expertise has always been a top priority for us, and it's nice to receive national recognition for it."
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 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."
This year's Best Lawyers awards are the most recent in a line-up of Clyde Snow's professional honors. Aside from being listed in Best Lawyers in past and present, Clyde Snow & Sessions was listed in the inaugural publication of U.S. News' and Best Lawyers' Best Law Firms rankings in 2010. Other notable honors include Clyde Snow's President Rodney G. Snow being sworn in as president of the Utah State Bar and multiple attorneys being listed in Super Lawyers and Utah Business Magazine's Legal Elite. To date, many of the firm's attorneys have been inducted into professional honor societies such as the Litigation Council of America, the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and the American College of Trial Lawyers. They have also received recognition for service to the Utah State Bar, Federal Bar, and the profession at large due to industry leadership and practice excellence.
