SEATTLE (July 2, 2007) – Perkins Coie proudly announces that once again it has been ranked by Chambers & Partners, publishers of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, as a top law firm in the United States. The firm was recognized in the annual directory as a leader in its Corporate/M&A, Corporate/Commercial Tax, Environment, Immigration, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment, Litigation and Real Estate practices in Seattle.
The firm was also recognized with top practice area rankings in other key markets across the country, including Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, and Oregon. The rankings are the result of extensive surveys of in-house counsel and leading law firm partners.

Stewart Landefeld, Andrew Bor, Evelyn Cruz and David McShea were ranked for their Corporate/Commercial practices. Carl Crow and Bryan Smith were ranked for their Corporate/Commercial Tax practice. Mark Schneider was ranked for his Environmental practice, and Gregory McCall for his Immigration practice. Jerry Riedinger, Ramsey Al-Salam and Paul Parker were ranked for their Intellectual Property practice.
