Who's Who Legal Guide Honors Attorneys in Firm's Construction, Project Finance, Trademarks, and Competition Practices
'SAN FRANCISCO and LOS ANGELES (June 5, 2007)—Ten of Thelen LLP’s California partners have been highlighted in Who's Who Legal: California 2007 as being among the state’s leading lawyers.
UK-based Who’s Who Legal, the official research partner of the International Bar Association, has begun producing a series of U.S. State-specific books “honoring the very best practitioners within the world's largest legal marketplace.” Drawing on more than ten years of independent research, the 2007 California guide identifies 725 attorneys in 25 practice areas as the state's preeminent lawyers.
The 2007 California guide lists 25 attorneys as leaders in Construction, including Thelen Co-Chair Stephen V. O’Neal, Construction and Government Contracts department chair John R. Heisse, II, and partners David Buoncristiani, John W. Ralls, and Robert B. Thum.
The guide also lists 11 attorneys as leaders in Project Finance, including Thelen partners Robert L. Nelson, Jr., David C. Spielberg, and Mark P. Weitzel.
Additionally, partners Robert B. Pringle and Veronica Colby Devitt have been listed for Competition and Trademarks, respectively.
In April, Who’s Who Legal named Thelen the 2007 "Global Construction Law Firm of the Year." This annual award, based on client and colleague nominations, is given to the law firm with the most exceptional performance in each of 27 practice areas.
Thelen and its senior partners are regularly honored for leadership in Construction, Project Finance, Energy, Technology, and other areas of law. For the past four years in a row, Chambers USA has listed Thelen as the number one Construction practice in the U.S., as well as a leader in Projects, Energy, and Government Contracts. Best Lawyers also ranks the firm first in the nation for Construction and Information Technology law.
