David Kaufman Named Among Top 500 Attorneys in America by Lawdragon
Brunini, Grantham, Grower and Hewes is pleased to announce that David Kaufman, a member in its Litigation Practice Group, has been named by Lawdragon to the publication's Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America. Mr. Kaufman's profile is included within the magazine's Fall 2006 issue, currently available, and online at www.lawdragon.com.
First published in 2005, The Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America is the leading guide to the nation's best lawyers and judges. It is comprised of private lawyers from a wide range of practices, as well as in-house counsel, law professors, judges and neutrals, government attorneys, and public interest lawyers. Those named to the list represent less than one-half of one percent of the legal profession, placing them among the most elite group of legal professionals.
More than 15,000 attorneys were nominated for the list by their peers and the Lawdragon editorial staff, who selected 3,000 finalists, featured at Lawdragon.com. The Lawdragon 500 was selected from that group, based on a proprietary system that takes into account dozens of qualifications that are scored to determine the best lawyers nationwide. Among the factors utilized in the list's selection are extensive research by a staff of award-winning journalists who interview thousands of lawyers nationwide and a survey of lawyers and general counsel who nominate and vote for their peers online. The 500 Leading Lawyers in America also reflects the practices that are the "hottest" during a particular year, as well as those individuals who have had the greatest recent impact on the legal world.
"The Lawdragon rankings are intended to inform the public of the nation's top legal professionals, and we are enormously proud of the 500 lawyers that we are honoring this year as the best in the country," said Katrina Dewey, CEO of Lawdragon.
David Kaufman focuses his practice on business, personal injury, and toxic exposure litigation. He has extensive experience in handling complex commercial and mass tort cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts in Mississippi and elsewhere. David currently serves as Mississippi trial counsel for several Fortune 500 companies. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, and a member of the International Association of Defense Counsel. David also is recognized in The Best Lawyers in America in Business and Personal Injury Litigation, and Chambers USA lists him among America's Leading Lawyers in business litigation.
