(September 5, 2006. Manchester, NH.) - Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green Attorney Bradford E. Cook of Manchester, a shareholder with the firm, has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America by Woodward/White, a national research firm. Cook is one of 23 SPB+G attorneys to be honored for their outstanding work and distinguished reputations. Cook was named to the list for his non-profits/charities law and trusts and estates law practices. Nearly half of the firm's 49 attorneys in New Hampshire made the 2007 list.
Cook is head of the firm's Estate Planning and Probate and Government Relations Practice Groups. He is a past president of the firm and has practiced with Sheehan Phinney since 1973. He represents many colleges and private secondary schools, religious organizations throughout New England, and hospital, nursing home and other charitable clients. Cook also represents both for-profit and not-for-profit clients before the New Hampshire legislature on a regular basis, and practices general corporate law. He writes a regular column, "Cook on Concord" which appears in the New Hampshire Business Review.
Cook is a 1970 graduate from the University of New Hampshire and graduated from Cornell University Law School in 1973.
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."
Sheehan Phinney is a regional business law firm with offices in Boston, MA, Manchester, Concord and Lebanon, NH. The firm provides a broad range of sophisticated legal services to businesses and institutions in traditional and emerging areas of the law. Its diverse client base includes local and regional organizations, as well as national and international businesses with interests in the Northeast.
