Twenty-one attorneys from Bernstein Shur have been selected by a team of independent legal researchers for inclusion in the 2009 edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, a prestigious directory of leading attorneys in the United States.

Sam Anderson of Yarmouth for Corporate/M&A: Bankruptcy; Charles E. Miller and Nathan H. Smith of Portland, Jaimie P.  Schwartz of South Portland, David Ray of Yarmouth, William M. Welch and Richard W. “Rick” Smith of Falmouth, and Tom S. Hanson of Cumberland, all for Real Estate; Eliza Cope Nolan of Portland for Timberland/Conservation Real Estate; Peter J. Rubin of Scarborough and Paul McDonald of Cape Elizabeth for General Commercial Litigation; Jeffrey A. Thaler of Yarmouth for Environment and General Commercial Litigation; Linda D. McGill of Freeport and Glenn Israel of Cape Elizabeth for Employment; and Eric F. Saunders of Cumberland and John Carpenter of North Yarmouth for Corporate/M&A.

Those selected to be included in the guide for New Hampshire are Andru Volinsky of Concord for General Commercial Litigation, and Andrea Johnstone of Hopkinton for Employment.

“We are extremely proud that Bernstein Shur continues to increase the number of our attorneys recognized by Chambers USA,” said Charles E. Miller, its managing shareholder. “It is a major accomplishment that supports and confirms what we are all about—providing the highest level of client service and top-notch legal expertise.”

To compile the current directory, researchers conducted more than 14,000 interviews in the United States during a six-month period. The resulting independent rankings are considered to be a highly accurate and reliable assessment of law firms and leading attorneys. For more information, visit http://www.chambersandpartners.com/.
