Receives Award of Excellence from Chambers USA
SEATTLE, WA, JUNE 18, 2007 – Davis Wright
Tremaine is pleased to announce that the firm’s national media
law practice group was selected by the prestigious legal directory

Excellence” in media law. Winners in various practice categories

According to Chambers USA, their extensive research process combined
12 months of unbiased and professional research interviews carried
out for the Chambers USA 2007 guide with an evaluation
of each lawyer’s significant legal achievements. “Attorneys
are judged by the merits outlined by the thousands of clients and
experts we interview,” said Fiona Boxall, managing editor,
Chambers and Partners, “and it is this client nomination process
that brings such a high level of validity to the Chambers USA guide
and the awards.” The Awards for Excellence are given to outstanding
law firms and individuals in numerous categories following the recommendations
of clients and an analysis of their work over the past year.
DWT’s national media law group is chaired by Kelli
Sager and co-chaired by Bruce
E. H. Johnson and Robert
Balin. In accepting the Chambers Excellence award on DWT’s
behalf, Balin noted, “I speak for all my DWT colleagues when
I say that practicing in the media law field is a labor of love.
It is a pleasure and privilege to serve our media clients and we
will strive to continue providing them with top caliber legal representation.”
DWT attorneys counsel some of the world’s largest media
and entertainment companies including well-known newspapers, magazines,
book publishers, websites, television and cable networks and movie
