What is the Who's Who Legal 70?
McDermott Will & Emery was established in Chicago in 1934 as a tax practice, and has grown to become one of the world’s leading firms.
McDermott lawyers are listed 35 times in this year’s edition, with lawyers recognised in four countries and 14 practice areas.
The firm continues to be renowned for its corporate tax work, and nine names from McDermott feature on our list. Four are based in the US, with Lowell Yoder in Chicago described as “one of the deans of the bar” and Steven Hannes a “leading light” in DC. The firm is also strong in Europe, with Dirk Pohl one of the leading experts in Germany and head of the London tax department Peter Nias described as “superb” for transfer pricing and cross-border tax issues.
The firm is also strong for competition work, particularly in the US where five nominees are selected. McDermott was further strengthened in this area when the “first-class” Martina Maier joined the Brussels office in 2010 to become head of the firm’s European antitrust and competition practice group.
The trade and customs practice group is similarly renowned, with Clive Stanbrook QC in particular coming in for high levels of praise from our sources. Head of the firm’s EU regulatory practice, he is joined by EU litigation expert Philip Bentley QC as well as David Levine in DC.
McDermott lawyers are frequently sought out for their white collar criminal defence expertise, and four nominees are selected for inclusion in this edition. Abbe David Lowell heads the firm’s white collar criminal defence group in Washington, DC, and is “first-rate”, while Gordon Greenberg is among the leading experts in California and two further nominees are selected in Boston.
With a presence in a range of further practice areas, including three highly regarded patent experts, McDermott Will & Emery is internationally renowned for the quality of its service to clients.
