(Handling charge of $5 for the purchase of all lists plus 7% sales tax for Vermont Residents.)
Vermont has many fine law firms and lawyers to serve the Vermont business community. Represented on the following pages are over 30 law firms and about 200 attorneys. This list is comprised of Vermont lawyers designated by peer-reviewed rating firms, including www.bestlawyers.com or www.superlawyers.com. Vermont Business Magazine asked law firms from across the state which of their lawyers received such a designation in a business-related practice area. Only those firms who volunteered this information about their lawyers are included. Some of the practice areas have been consolidated. Several lawyers practice in more than one area of law. The list is arranged alphabetically by firm.
