The Firm is pleased to announce that Chambers USA has once again recognized Halloran Sage’s practice areas and individual attorneys within its 2019 edition. An international publisher of legal profession guides, Chambers is esteemed worldwide for its detailed research and review process. Law firms and individual lawyers are ranked and assessed on the quality of technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by the client.
Halloran Sage’s Environmental and Real Estate practice groups were ranked, and the Corporate/Mergers & Acquisitions practice area was named a “Recognised Practitioner.”
According to Chambers, the Environmental team’s areas of excellence include matters related to regulation, brownfields redevelopment and insurance defense, and it is exceptional in litigation involving environmental contamination and cleanup.
Chambers also noted that the Real Estate team is experienced in handling all aspects of major real estate developments, and offers notable skill in financing and leasing. Sources say, “The team is excellent, and very timely. Unlike other firms we have dealt with, Halloran Sage does not drag out issues just to inflate hours. This team is more client-focused and far more efficient with time.”
