Eighteen attorneys at Langrock, Sperry & Wool, LLP have been named
“Best Lawyers” in Vermont in one or more areas of law. They received
these honors from Best Lawyers in America®, the oldest peer-review
publication in the legal profession, based entirely upon the opinions of their
fellow attorneys. Langrock ranks first in Vermont overall, with more lawyers
listed than any other firm, and also has the most lawyers listed in thirteen
separate practice areas, including Commercial Litigation, Family Law, Labor
and Employment Law, Criminal Defense and Real Estate Law. Langrock attorney
Christopher L. Davis was also named Vermont’s “Family Lawyer of the Year”
by the same publication.
“The fact that such a high percentage of our partners made the list this
year reflects very well on the overall quality of our people and the
respect our attorneys have earned from their peers,” said Mark Sperry.
“I’m honored to be able to work with such a talented group of people.”
In addition, for the first time, this year Best Lawyers and U.S. News
& World Report teamed up to rank law firms, based on client surveys and
hard numbers — data about numbers of lawyers and their experience,
numbers of clients within different billing ranges, numbers of
transactions and litigation matters at different dollar levels, pro-bono
commitment, diversity, and other objective criteria.Achieving a high
ranking is a special distinction that signals a unique combination of
excellence and breadth of expertise. LS&W was ranked “first tier” in
fourteen separate practice areas.
The attorneys recognized as “Best Lawyers” are: Rendol Barlow, Alison
Bell, Kevin Brown, David Conard, Thomas Carlson, Christopher Davis,
Ellen Mercer Fallon, Emily Joselson, Eric Knudsen, Peter Langrock, Devin
McLaughlin, William Miller, Jr., Susan Murray, Mitchell Pearl, Beth
Robinson, Lisa Shelkrot, Mark Sperry and James Swift.
Five Langrock partners were also recently included in the New England
list of “Super Lawyers” by Super Lawyers magazine. Chris Davis was
named in Family Law, David Conard in Real Estate, Lisa Shelkrot in
Criminal Defense, Mitchell Pearl in Civil Rights/First Amendment, and
Beth Robinson in Workers’ Compensation.
