What is the Who's Who Legal 70?
With over 1,000 lawyers in 12 cities in the United States, Europe and Asia, WilmerHale has a legal heritage as diverse as the historic events in which it has played a role.
The firm has acted in matters that range from the Army-McCarthy hearings to the 9/11 Commission and maintains its tradition of excellence through to the present day. Forty-nine inclusions across 18 chapters in this guide reflect the global acclaim that the firm receives.
Ten partners are selected for inclusion in our competition chapter, three of whom are based in the firm’s DC office where William Kolasky is “utterly superb” and one of the most highly regarded practitioners in our research year on year. James Burling is “outstanding”, praised for his work on behalf of technology companies. In Brussels, the “eminent” Claus-Dieter Ehlermann and Sven Völcker receive a chorus of international approval.
The firm has a strong trade and customs practice with six lawyers featured from its offices in Brussels, Berlin and Washington DC. Charlene Barshefsky’s “exceptional” work garners world-wide recognition. She is widely acclaimed the architect and chief negotiator of China’s WTO Agreement. John Greenwald is a “top tier” practitioner and in Belgium, counsel in the firm’s regulatory and government affairs department Jacques Bourgeois is “tremendously knowledgeable”.
Five names are included for their arbitration expertise. Four are based in the “extremely strong” London office. Interviewees repeatedly identified Gary Born, chair of the firm’s practice, as a “leading light”. Franz Schwarz is vice chair of the practice and “extremely skilled”, while Wendy Jane Miles and Steven Finizio also receive vast praise.
Listings in 14 further chapters demonstrate the breadth of premier expertise for which WilmerHale consistently receives glowing international praise.
