“Chambers & Partners rankings are important because they are
the result of peer and client interviews. These cannot be influenced
by advertising commitments or voting from internal sources. We are
very proud to see this increase in the number of our attorneys appearing
in the guide, as well as having several areas of practice ranked
in key markets,” said
David Palmer, managing
shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s Denver office.

fields, his clients are in industries ranging from brewing and real

Eid was recognized for the second year in a row for excellence
in environmental law, which runs the gamut of natural resources
from energy to federal Indian law. He concentrates in legal project
