SEATTLE, Wash. (August 17, 2015) - Perkins Coie is proud to announce that 35 of its attorneys have been named 2016 Lawyers of the Year by Best Lawyers®, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.

According to Best Lawyers, “Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. 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.”
