With 135 attorneys recognized, Stoel Rives is in the top 20 law firms nationwide for the total number of attorneys listed in The Best Lawyers in America, a particularly impressive statistic in light of Stoel Rives' size (i.e., total number of attorneys). The firm is the 134th largest law firm nationally according to The National Law Journal's 2009 NLJ 250 list. Following closely on the heels of Stoel Rives' recent recognition in Chambers USA, in which 90 Stoel Rives attorneys earned top rankings, The Best Lawyers In America listing further confirms Stoel's position as one of the leading law firms in the country.

"We're very pleased that so many of our lawyers and practice groups have been recognized for excellence in the areas in which they practice," said Bob Van Brocklin, Stoel Rives' Managing Partner. " These results underscore the high level of work quality and service that we strive to deliver to our clients every day."
