FIFTEEN BERGER SINGERMAN ATTORNEYS NAMED TO THE BEST LAWYERS IN AMERICA 2009
MIAMI, FL – The Florida business law firm Berger Singerman is pleased to announce that fifteen lawyers were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in the recently released edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 25,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
Guatemala, according to The Lonely Planet Guide, "... is a magical place. If you’re into the Maya, the mountains, the markets or a million other things, you’re bound to be captivated.” The Mayan civilization thrived there for nearly a thousand years, leaving behind spectacular pyramids and monuments that, together with the dramatic terrain, led to the United Nations choosing Tikal National Park to be the first mixed UNESCO World Heritage Site. (A mixed site is one chosen for its combination of natural and cultural distinction.)
Now the land that played host to the remarkable Mayan civilization has become host to one of the most recent additions to the TAGLaw family: the distinguished firm of Quiñones, Ibargüen & Luján, S.C. in Guatemala City. The firm’s lawyers have received both local and foreign legal training and have extended their expertise through experience with a wide range of investment opportunities involving domestic and international clients. Thus they are able to satisfy the most varied and demanding needs of legal service to local and multinational clients alike. For more information go to http://www.qilsc.com.
