20 Gordon Arata Montgomery Barnett Lawyers Selected for Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2019 Edition, Two Named Lawyer of the Year

In the past 35 years, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.  Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 36,000 leading attorneys cast almost 4.4 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.  Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

A total of 20 Gordon Arata Montgomery Barnett lawyers representing 23 diverse practice areas have been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2019 edition.  New Orleans lawyer Donna Phillips Currault has been named “Lawyer of the Year” for her work in Employment Law.  New Orleans lawyer Tim Eagan has been named “Lawyer of the Year” for his work in Energy Law.  Best Lawyers limits the honor of “Lawyer of the Year” to one attorney in each practice area for a particular city.
