Hunton & Williams LLP Ranked Among BTI's Client Service Elite

NEW YORK — December 8, 2011 — BTI Consulting Group has ranked Hunton & Williams LLP 8th among top-tier U.S. law firms for exceptional client service, based on its annual survey of corporate counsel. The firm's high ranking not only earns it a place on BTI's Client Service A-Team, but also among its elite Client Service 30 — an honor Hunton & Williams has received six times since the ranking was first established.

"Exceptional client service is just part of Hunton & Williams' DNA," says Wally Martinez, managing partner of the firm. "BTI's rating reflects the ongoing commitment of our lawyers and professional staff to deliver the kind of service our clients both expect and deserve."

BTI's 2012 research revealed 650 core law firms that serve large and Fortune 1000 clients. Of these firms, the 240 corporate counsel surveyed nominated less than half for superior service and only 30 as the absolute best. In its report, BTI noted that law firms selected to its Client Service 30 have "truly differentiated themselves in the eyes of clients."

In addition to its excellent overall ranking, Hunton & Williams received Best of Best honors in the Advice on Business Issues category and Leaders of the Best honors in the categories of Commitment to Help, Innovative Approach and Legal Skills. Clients described Hunton & Williams as "tenacious," using their deep "industry knowledge" to drive "effective" delivery of legal services and "using their client management system" to better their client service.
