NEW ORLEANS – Kean Miller announced that five of its New Orleans-based partners have been selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2016.
Published since 1983, The Best Lawyers in America is regarded as an important referral guide to the legal profession in the United States. The list is compiled through an exhaustive peer-review survey in which thousands of the top lawyers in the U.S. confidentially evaluate their professional peers.
It is important to note that the lawyers listed in Best Lawyers have no say in deciding which practice areas they are included in. They are voted into practice areas entirely as a result of the votes they receive from their peers.
The Kean Miller partners listed in the upcoming edition include:
• Michael A. McGlone (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
• Michael R. Phillips (Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions – Defense)
• James R. Silverstein (Admiralty and Maritime Law; Product Liability Litigation – Defendants)
