FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - June 16, 2009) - Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., a diversified
commercial law firm with more than 120 attorneys in 13 Florida offices, New
York City, Nassau, Prague and affiliated international offices, today
announced that its Construction Law practice and two of its attorneys have
been recognized in the 2009 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading
Lawyers for Business.
Attorney Steve Lesser, who heads the construction practice, received the
prestigious Tier 1 ranking in the annual directory which is known for its
independent research. Mr. Lesser is Board Certified in Construction Law and
devotes his practice exclusively to construction law and litigation and has
substantial experience representing owners, developers, contractors, design
professionals, and government entities in a variety of construction cases.
In addition to bestowing its highest ranking on Mr. Lesser, Chambers USA
awarded its Tier 2 designation both to the Becker & Poliakoff Construction
Law practice and to firm attorney Lee Weintraub, who is Board Certified in
Construction Law. Mr. Weintraub, who also concentrates his practice in
commercial litigation, has ranked among the top construction lawyers in
Florida in surveys of attorneys and clients statewide.
The newly released directory was published by Chambers and Partners, an
independent company that identifies and ranks the world's best lawyers and
law firms. The rankings are developed on the basis of in-depth, objective
research conducted by the Chambers team of 100 full-time researchers.
In describing Becker & Poliakoff's Construction Law Practice which includes
eight Board Certified Construction attorneys, Chambers says, "The team has
an undisputed reputation for residential construction matters and is
increasingly involved in commercial cases. Regularly representing owners,
developers, sureties and contractors, the group is particularly
knowledgeable on condominium projects."
Becker & Poliakoff ranks among the top firms in Florida in the number of
attorneys who have received Board Certification in Construction Law.
Since 1999, Chambers has been researching the US legal profession,
identifying the leading lawyers and law firms through interviews with
thousands of lawyers and their clients. Chambers' rankings are highly
valued because of the independence and objectivity of their research.
