(September 5, 2006. Manchester, NH.) - Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green Attorney James P. Reidy of Concord, a shareholder with the firm, has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America by Woodward/White, a national research firm. Reidy is one of 23 SPB+G attorneys to be honored for their outstanding work and distinguished reputations. Reidy was named to the list for his labor and employment law practice. Nearly half of the firm's 49 attorneys in New Hampshire made the 2007 list.
Reidy practices in the areas of labor, employment and employment-based immigration law with an emphasis on assisting employers in effectively avoiding or defending against employment disputes. He represents management in organizations ranging from multi-national corporations, to closely-held, family-owned businesses, to not-for-profit entities and public sector employers. Since joining the Sheehan firm in 1989, Reidy has expanded an already significant employment law practice for the firm.
Reidy is a 1980 graduate from Assumption College, graduated from Northeastern University with an MPA in 1981 and graduated from the New England School of Law in 1989.
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.
