With the recently-announced Chambers 2012 rankings, Barran Liebman LLP once again was honored with a #1 Rank in Labor and Employment Law Firms in Oregon for the tenth year in a row. In its profile of the firm, Chambers acknowledges Barran Liebman’s history of providing consistently solid legal advice and representation, dubbing it “an institution on the Beaver State’s labor and employment scene.” According to one source Chambers interviewed, “it certainly is a fine firm with fine lawyers!”

Chambers recognized three of those “fine lawyers” with #1 rankings as individuals: Paula Barran, as “a leader on advising companies on employment policies,” Ed Harnden as “a go-to attorney for employment disputes,” and Richard Liebman as “a seasoned attorney who is highly regarded for his impressive legal acumen.”

“Receiving such high marks from Chamber, through interview with our clients, is really a great accomplishment. We work as a team to be the best employment, labor and benefits law firm for our clients, and we are proud to be recognized as a leader in our areas of specialization,” said Ed Harnden, Barran Liebman’s managing partner. “Here’s to another ten great years ahead.”
