The Best Lawyers in America list for 2011 has been announced and 35 attorneys from regional law firm Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt have been presented with this prestigious distinction. Schwabe has steadily grown the number of attorneys who receive this honor; 31 attorneys were named on the 2010 list.

“We are pleased to continually see our attorneys added to this list each year,” said Mark Long, Schwabe’s managing partner. “To have so many attorneys with such a diverse set of practice areas from the firm be represented on this prominent list is an honor.”

Best Lawyers compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. In the U.S., Best Lawyers publishes an annual referral guide, The Best Lawyers in America, which includes 39,766 attorneys in 80 practice areas, covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
