SEATTLE, Wash. (August 27, 2014) – Perkins Coie is proud to announce that 30 of its attorneys have been named Lawyers of the Year by Best Lawyers®, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.

Lawyers being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the exhaustive peer-review assessments we conduct with thousands of leading lawyers each year. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.”
