(September 5, 2006. Manchester, NH.) - Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green Attorney Alan P. Cleveland of Manchester, has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America by Woodward/White, a national research firm. Cleveland is one of 23 SPB+G attorneys to be honored for their outstanding work and distinguished reputations. Cleveland was named to the list for his employee benefits law practice. Nearly half of the firm's 49 attorneys in New Hampshire made the 2007 list.
Since joining Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green 30 years ago, Cleveland has been practicing as a member of the Corporate Practice Group. He also has developed a strong client base in the area of corporate governance.
Cleveland's reputation in the field has lead to his being asked to provide testimony before the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. He frequently writes and presents to professional organizations on a wide range of topics.
Cleveland is a 1969 graduate from the University of New Hampshire and graduated from Harvard University Law School in 1974.
Of the 23 attorneys named to the list, 22 are shareholders with the firm (with one being "of counsel"), eight are on the list for the first time, seven have been on the list at least 10 years, and three have been on the list for at least 20 years.
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definite guide to legal excellence in the United States. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 16,000 leading attorneys throughout the country cast more than a half 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."

The firm provides a broad range of sophisticated legal services to businesses and institutions in traditional and emerging areas of the law.
