October 10, 2011 // Franchising.com // DALLAS/HOUSTON – Eight Haynes and Boone, LLP partners have been designated "Lawyers of the Year" in their practice area by Best Lawyers in America 2012, a well respected publication in the legal profession. This doubles the firm's representation over last year.
Best Lawyers designates a single lawyer per practice specialty in each geographic region. It compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys through peer-review surveys.

Best Lawyers President Steven Naifeh says, "We continue to believe – as we have believed for more than 25 years – that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession. We would like to congratulate these Haynes and Boone lawyers on being selected."
