Keesal, Young & Logan is proud to announce that 16 of the firms’ partners and shareholders were nominated by their peers to the national 2013 Best Lawyers listing, excelling in 12 practice areas and continuing an honor achieved by members of the firm for more than a quarter century.
Best Lawyers compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys, in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers.
This is the 18th year in a row that both Michael Gless and William Collier have been recognized by this prestigious publication in the areas of Admiralty/Maritime Law and Securities/Capital Markets respectively.
The firm is also proud to announce that founding partner Skip Keesal, nominated to the Best Lawyers listing for 27 years straight, was listed this year in five separate categories—a rare achievement. Skip also received the distinction as a 2012 Best Lawyers’ “Lawyer of the Year” for Admiralty and Maritime in the Orange County Area, and is in the running for the same honor this year.
In addition to that, KYL lawyer John C. Cox made his debut appearance in the Best Lawyers listing this year.
