Stites & Harbison, PLLC

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 28, 2007)—Stites & Harbison announced today that the firm has been named a "Go-To Law Firm®" by one of its clients in a recent American Lawyer Media (ALM) survey.  Stites & Harbison will be included in the new reference guide In-House Law Departments At Leading Financial Services Companies published by Corporate Counsel® magazine.

ALM's Corporate Counsel® magazine, the nation's leading magazine for general counsel and in-house attorneys at corporations across the country, will publish a new reference guide to in-house law departments at the nation's leading financial services companies.  The guide will premiere this summer and will include detailed profiles and contact information for general counsel at these corporations, as well as listings of their current outside "Go-To Law Firms®" in various practice areas, including litigation, securities, transactions, compliance and intellectual property.

The guide was developed in response to a research study of Corporate Counsel readers that revealed that in-house legal department information on the financial services industry was a top priority of respondents.  It will be distributed to more than 10,000 general counsel at financial services companies, and will be available on the Web at www.law.com. 

"Go-To Law Firms®" were identified through research conducted by ALM.  Researchers asked general counsel at the leading financial services companies which outside law firms they turn to for assistance. ALM's research department also investigated and gathered data on financial services company's "Go-To Law Firms®" from various public records resources including court dockets and securities filings, as well as legal and business publications, including The American Lawyer®.
