Rath, Young and Pignatelli Attorneys Named as Top Attorneys By Chambers USA

Attorneys Tom Rath and Bill Ardinger have been named as best attorneys in America by international firm Chambers and Partners in the Chambers USA 2006 Annual Edition.
October 10, 2005

Chambers & Partners distinguished two Rath | Young lawyers individually: Tom Rath in Government Relations and Bill Ardinger in Tax Law. These attorneys have been recommended as leading lawyers in New Hampshire in their areas of practice and are included in the book’s editorial.

Chambers USA researchers conducted over 4,500 interviews with attorneys and clients across the U.S. in order to rank attorneys on a scale of one through six based on their reputation in the market. The New Hampshire section of the book ranks lawyers in 4 practice areas: Corporate M&A, Commercial Litigation, Real Estate and Defendant Employment.

Qualities assessed included technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence and commitment. For each firm referenced, the directory provides detailed quotations from clients and peers, a list of practice strengths, an overview of recent work and a client listing.

"Over the past year, the legal marketplace has spoken extensively to Chambers and our guides reflect its judgment and opinions," said Fiona Boxall, Director of Chambers and Partners and Managing Editor of the directories. "Unlike most legal directories, Chambers USA is not just another "Yellow Pages" guide. You cannot buy your way into the rankings."

The Chambers USA guide is published by Chambers and Partners—a London-based publisher that produces guides to the world’s top lawyers. The guide is available on-line at: http://www.chambersandpartners.com/usa/. This guide is being sent to nominated clients, attorneys in practice and in-house counsel in major companies. Chambers USA is available for sale in most bookstores.
