Chambers USA, one of the world's leading ranking agencies for law firms and lawyers, has honored our Finance practice and its attorneys for their exceptional work and client service year after year. A source who was interviewed by Chambers commented: "We are very satisfied with the work they perform and the advice they give. They are always very responsive and have people ready to address our needs in a lot of different areas." In addition to our Chambers accolades, a client recently shared with us that that our team is "one of the best" she has worked with in her nearly 30 years of commercial banking experience and a second client commented "I really appreciate your help, especially on closing day with a lot of attention needed and lots of documents to deliver...proving once again why the Smith Anderson team is top of the podium for us on legal partners we work with."
