COLUMBIA, SC – June 17, 2009 – McNair Law Firm, P.A. is recognized again this year by Chambers USA, America’s Leading Lawyers for Business® which ranked McNair’s practice areas of corporate/mergers and acquisitions, and real estate as number one and its general commercial litigation practice area as number two in South Carolina. Additionaly Chambers cited John W. Currie, William M. Musser, David J. Tigges, J. Sidney Boone, JR., Joel E. Gottlieb, Judith L. McInnis and Celeste T. Jones individually commending them for their outstanding legal abilities.
REGARDING – CORPORATE/MERGERS and ACQUISITIONS
CHAMBERS states that “The corporate practice at McNair is well established and highly respected, working on a number of interesting transactions. It recently advised a Japanese company, Teijin, on its US operations and has been assisting a startup company with securing IP rights.”
CHAMBERS specifically mentions three McNAIR lawyers in this area of practice, John W. Currie and William M. Musser (both in McNAIR’s Columbia office) and David J. Tigges (in McNAIR’s Hilton Head Island office).
CHAMBERS says “In the Columbia office, John Withers Currie’s transactional experience is highly valued by clients, and in complex matters he ‘has a great perception of where a deal needs to go and guides clients brilliantly to that end.’” “When it comes to startups, he is ‘extremely effective at connecting with the relevant leaders in the community.’”
CHAMBERS goes on to say that “William Musser adds a further dimension to the team with his well-respected and substantial municipal bond financing practice.”
CHAMBERS also comments that “The firm’s Hilton Head office is a considerable selling point thanks to the still upbeat economy along the coast, and is the base for David Tigges, who traditionally handles local M&A deals but who is representing an increasing number of commercial lenders.”
REGARDING – REAL ESTATE
CHAMBERS singles out this practice area of McNAIR saying, “The merger between McNair and Gottlieb & Smith has created a formidable real estate practice that now has an impressive profile in Columbia and upstate, along with an unbeaten presence along South Carolina’s eastern coast in Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head Island. Complex retail and condominium developments remain the team’s forte.”
CHAMBERS profiles three McNAIR lawyers in the real estate practice group, J. Sidney Boone, Jr. (McNAIR’s Charleston office), Joel E. Gottlieb, and Judith L. McInnis (McNAIR’s Columbia office).
CHAMBERS states that “Sidney Boone and Joel Gottlieb are two deans of the real estate world and are frequently dubbed ‘tremendous lawyers with a wealth of experience and knowledge.’”
CHAMBERS goes on to say “Judith McInnis has a widely varied approach, combining real estate knowledge with a banking, lending and workout practice.”
REGARDING- GENERAL COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
CHAMBERS states “This well-established firm has offices in various cities throughout the state and fields a very well-received litigation practice. In recent years the healthcare litigation team has seen considerable success, but various members of the team continue to handle construction, commercial real estate, insurance and antitrust litigation.”
CHAMBERS singles out Celeste T. Jones (McNAIR’s Columbia office) saying “Celeste Jones’ expertise centers on the healthcare industry; she recently handled a case for a doctor against a major healthcare institution with great success.”
