Cooley Named Top Bay Area Corporate Law Firm
San Francisco – June 29, 2009 – Cooley Godward Kronish LLP announced that it has been named the Top-Rated Corporate Law Firm in the San Francisco Bay Area in an annual survey of public company corporate counsel conducted by Corporate Board Member magazine and FTI Consulting.
"We are honored to receive this recognition, most importantly because it comes from our many Bay Area-based corporate clients, many of whom have deep and longstanding relationships with Cooley," said Eric Jensen, head of Cooley's firmwide business practice and resident in Palo Alto, Calif. "While we are widely recognized for its leadership representing emerging growth companies, Cooley is also outside counsel to a significant number of major corporations, both in the Bay Area and nationwide."
The annual study identifies the top corporate law firm in 25 major metropolitan areas and nationwide, according to directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies listed with the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange, or American Stock Exchange, as well as general counsel at publicly traded companies.
Corporate Board Member is a leading information resource for senior officers and directors of publicly traded corporations, large private companies, and Global 1000 firms.
