SALT LAKE CITY— Clyde Snow & Sessions is pleased to announce that two of the firm's attorneys have recently been named Lawyers of the Year for 2012 by Best Lawyers.
Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, named Clark W. Sessions as the "Salt Lake City Best Lawyers Family Law Lawyer of the Year" and Steven E. Clyde as the "Salt Lake City Best Lawyers Water Law Lawyer of the Year."
"We continue to believe - as we have believed for more than 25 years - that recognition by one's peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession," said Steven Naifeh, president of Best Lawyers. "We would like to congratulate Clark W. Sessions and Steven E. Clyde on being selected as the ‘Salt Lake City Best Lawyers Water Law and Family Law Lawyers of the Year' for 2012."
After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating Lawyers of the Year in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the Lawyer of the Year.
Mr. Sessions and Mr. Clyde received this designation following an exhaustive peer-review survey in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluated their professional peers. As Lawyers of the Year, both attorneys have received particularly high ratings in the surveys by earning a high level of respect among peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
Both attorneys have received many other accolades for work in their respective legal fields. Mr. Sessions has represented individuals in high-asset divorce cases for more than 45 years, during which time he has been named a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Likewise, Mr. Clyde's nearly 40 years of representing individuals, entities, municipalities, and districts in water law matters has garnered praise from Mountain States Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and Utah Business Magazine.
Mr. Clyde and Mr. Sessions have also devoted significant time to lecturing on related topics and giving back to the profession through service in the Utah State Bar, American Bar Association, and other local associations.
