Thompson & Knight Attorney Named One of "The Nation's Top 10 Antitrust Lawyers"

June 01, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Thompson & Knight is pleased to congratulate Partner Gregory S.C. Huffman on being named one of “The Nation’s Top 10 Antitrust Lawyers” by United States Lawyer Rankings 2007.

Lawyers are nominated for inclusion in the United States Lawyer Rankings by members of the Bar, Judiciary, and by senior management of large corporate and institutional clients. Lawyers are not allowed to nominate themselves, nor any members of their own firm. Lawyers are ranked based on confidential questionnaires which are graded out of 100 points. Only attorneys with a minimum of 90 points or higher are eligible to be included in the rankings.

The questionnaire includes general inquiries on the attorney’s legal ability, negotiating skills, drafting skills, oral advocacy skills, and ability to develop creative solutions when faced with new issues. Other questions include: does the attorney get personally involved to the appropriate level in his/her cases; how well does the attorney staff a case or matter; how much does the attorney add to the body of knowledge in his/her practice area; and would you retain this attorney to handle a matter for yourself or a close family member?

Huffman is a Partner in the Trial Practice Group of the Firm’s Dallas office and leads the Antitrust Practice Specialty Group. He has over 30 years of trial experience and focuses his practice on antitrust, complex commercial litigation, and criminal investigations. He is a frequent speaker and writer on antitrust, litigation, and professional topics.

About United States Lawyer Rankings

United States Lawyer Rankings was established by a consortium of U.S. corporations in order to recognize those lawyers who have consistently provided the highest degree of legal representation, so that their members, as well as other businesses and individual clients, can have a degree of guidance when choosing to retain a law firm. Although United States Lawyer Rankings does wish to recognize those lawyers who have provided the finest level of legal representation, the main purpose of the rankings is to provide guidance for potential clients, not to benefit the lawyers. For this reason, they do not accept payments from lawyers, law firms, or third parties for advertisements, professional listings, bound volumes, or additional payments of any kind.
