(September 5, 2006. Manchester, NH.) - Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green Attorney Robert E. Dastin of Manchester, a shareholder with the firm, has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America by Woodward/White, a national research firm. Dastin is one of 23 SPB+G attorneys to be honored for their outstanding work and distinguished reputations. Dastin was named to the list for his corporate law practice. Nearly half of the firm's 49 attorneys in New Hampshire made the 2007 list.
Dastin's career at Sheehan Phinney spans more than 40 years. As one of our senior members, he has often been recognized by his peers and the media as one of the
state's legal leaders. Dastin represents professional practices such as physicians, dentists, architects, accountants and attorneys assisting them with formation and then with general representation across a wide range of organizational and business issues. He also helps regional transportation; moving and warehousing companies comply with the ever-increasing number of state and federal laws and regulations. He counsels many small business entities from start-up through expansion as they deal with changing structures, employment and growth matters. In addition, Dastin has a long-term practice with not-for-profit organizations.
Dastin is a 1961 graduate from Boston University and graduated from Boston University Law School in 1964 with a LL.B and 1968 with a LL.M, respectively.
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.
