Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business 2010

has singled out 45 Haynes and Boone, LLP lawyers for recognition in its annual law firm rankings. The firm has also been honored for having 15 leading practice areas at the state and national levels.

Preliminary 2010 results announced Wednesday are an increase of 10 attorneys over 2009 (about a 40 percent jump), and include a new national “Highly Regarded” ranking for the firm’s Corporate/M&A practice and a first-time Texas ranking for the Haynes and Boone Tax Practice. Final Chambers USA 2010 results to be released in June will show where the practices and individuals rank compared to peer law firms.

“These results are a reflection of the hard work we do every day for our clients,” said Terry Conner, Haynes and Boone’s managing partner. “You only get recognition like this if your clients give you great reviews. We’re evidently doing a lot of things right in their eyes.”

Independent and objective,
