CHAMBERS USA RECOGNIZES BAKER HOSTETLER AS A TOP HOSPITALITY LAW FIRM We would like to thank our friends and clients who responded to the most recent Chambers survey. Based on the strength of those comments, Baker Hostetler was, for the 4th year in a row, recognized as having one of the country’s strongest hospitality law practices. Most impressively, we were one of only three firms recognized for excellent client service and keen commercial awareness. As stated by some survey respondents: They have our interests at heart... Their focus is bringing all the parts together... We would also like to congratulate Rob Webb and John Melicharek, as Chambers made special note of their exceptional skills. Rob was highly recommended by peers as an acknowledged expert in timeshare-related matters. As for John, Chambers quoted one survey respondent as follows: He understands that it’s not just about the fundamentals, there’s business implications as well. He finds ways to get a deal done, and he also has a very good sense as to which issues are important and which aren’t, and that saves us time. Overall, Chambers recognized Baker Hostetler in 14 different practice areas: Bankruptcy/Restructuring Construction Corporate/M&A Private Equity Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Healthcare Intellectual Property Labor & Employment Leisure & Hospitality Litigation: General Commercial Natural Resources & Environment Real Estate Tax Zoning & Land Use
