The second edition of Chambers Europe recognizes WilmerHale in six practice areas and names 17 of its lawyers as “Leaders in their Field.” Chambers bases its rankings on market research that helps determine the level of client service, commercial awareness, technical legal ability, professional conduct, commitment, and diligence as well as additional qualities in which clients view as valuable.
The following WilmerHale practices are acknowledged in Chambers Europe 2008 for exceptional standing in the region(s) listed alongside each practice area: Competition/European Law (Belgium, Germany and Europe-wide); Dispute Resolution: General (Europe-wide) and International Arbitration (Europe-wide and UK); International Trade/WTO (Europe-wide); Technology & Communications (Europe-wide) Telecommunication Media & Technology (Belgium); and Transportation: Aviation (Europe-wide).
