Legal leaders: top lawyers named by their peers.

• Position: UTAH LEGAL ELITE [TM] 2011

2011 UTAH LEGAL ELITE [TM]

LISTED BY PRACTICE AREA

Now in its seventh year, Utah Business is proud to present the 2011 Utah Legal Elite, a program that honors the states top lawyers as voted by their peers. We hope this list will serve as a meaningful and reliable directory of Utah's top lawyers for you and other business leaders.

To compile the list, we started by mailing more than 5,000 ballots to state Bar members, asking them to vote for peers whom they deem to be Utah's best lawyers. Lawyers were permitted to vote for up to 10 lawyers: five from within their firms, five from outside their firms. Self-voting was not allowed. Votes were tallied and the list was further vetted by a panel of senior attorneys covering practice areas and bringing a wealth of knowledge regarding Utah's legal community to the table.

Utah Business received thousands of responses, and the resulting top vote-getters are alphabetized within the areas of specialty listed. We are proud to present the 2011 Utah Legal Elite.
