JACKSON, MS, July 23, 2009 – Butler, Snow, O’Mara, Stevens & Cannada, PLLC has been selected for The National Law Journal’s inaugural “Midsize Hot List”, which according to the publication, recognizes firms that have “proven to be more agile than their biggest competitors”.
Butler Snow was chosen for the exclusive list along with only 19 other firms in the country. The “Midsize Hot List” evaluated mid-size law firms with between 50 and 300 lawyers based on how they creatively addressed clients’ concerns about price constraints, their frustrations with traditional billing structures and their desire to staff matters efficiently.
“We are honored to be included on such a prestigious list,” said Don Clark, chairman, Butler Snow. “Our attorneys have been working diligently to deliver on our philosophy of internal teamwork and client collaboration. This recognition makes it quite evident that our hard work and unique approach are getting noticed.”

Also earning praise, were Butler Snow’s Products Liability practice, use of alternative fees, internal fee structure and environmental consciousness.
