Deutsch Kerrigan issued the following announcement on Aug. 19.
Deutsch Kerrigan is pleased to announce that thirty-seven of the firm’s attorneys are recognized in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. Additionally, Kelly Theard (Construction Law), Bert Cass (Energy Law) and Doug Vaughn (Product Liability Litigation – Defendants) have been selected as a 2022 “Lawyer of the Year”. Only one attorney in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as a “Lawyer of the Year,” and those selected for this honor are based on voting averages received during peer-review assessments for The Best Lawyers in America® for their legal acumen, professionalism, and integrity.
We are also pleased to announce that nine Deutsch Kerrigan attorneys were listed in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch. This recognition is given to attorneys who typically have practiced law for less than a decade and have been nominated by their peers by demonstrating outstanding professional excellence in private practice.
