Portland, OR (June 13, 2008) -- Bullivant Houser Bailey PC has announced that the firm and six of its shareholders have been recognized as leaders in the areas of commercial litigation and employment law in the latest edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business (2008). The published survey showcases the expertise of the nation's attorneys across a variety of practices areas. The rankings are based entirely on market research and extensive interviews of both in-house counsel and private practitioners.
Six Bullivant attorneys noted as leaders in their field include: Clay Creps (Employment), Stephen English (Commercial Litigation), David Ernst (Commercial Litigation), Douglas Houser (Commercial Litigation), Chrys Martin (Employment), and Renée Rothauge (Commercial Litigation).
Bullivant's commercial litigation group held on to its number one ranking this year and Stephen English is acknowledged as an "exceptional frontman for the firm." Chambers found English to be a "hugely respected commercial litigator." Senior shareholder Douglas Houser continues to be praised for his "strong regional reputation," including his expertise for insurance law. David Ernst, who specializes in food-borne illness litigation, has been described in the past as having "developed an impressive national reputation in food outbreak disputes." Renée Rothauge continues to be recognized for her work in complex business disputes.
Researchers described Bullivant's employment group as "an HR team's dream." Employment group practice chair Clay Creps was deemed "hugely praiseworthy" and bringing a tremendous amount of experience of representing employers to the table. Senior labor and employment shareholder Chrys Martin is regarded as "one of the driving forces behind the team."
