Bassford Remele Recognized as Leading Commercial Litigation Firm
June 23, 2008 — Minneapolis, MN
Bassford Remele, A Professional Association, has been recognized by Chambers & Partners, a highly respected international research firm, as one of Minnesota's leading commercial litigation law firms for the fifth consecutive year. Shareholders Lewis A. Remele, Jr. and Edward F. Fox were identified as Leading Individuals in General Commercial Litigation:
The Firm: The acquisition of eight lawyers from the recently dissolved Rider Bennett firm has meant that Bassford Remele is emerging as “one of the most significant litigation boutiques.” Competitors have noted that they are seeing much more of this 45-lawyer trial outfit and have been impressed by the “high quality of their work,” especially in commercial litigation. In particular, Lewis Remele stands out as a “star lawyer, not just within his firm but statewide.” He has a wide-ranging practice that covers a variety of industries, and has recently been commended for his insurance defence [sic] work and credit scoring cases. In addition, many in Minnesota see Edward Fox as a “really strong lawyer,” who is active in antitrust work as well as products liability. The firm also has the capacity to handle IP work.
