Syracuse, New York - June 1, 2013 - Chambers USA America's Leading Lawyers for Business has ranked Hiscock & Barclay's Energy practice among the top practices in New York in its 2013 edition. The firm received recognition as a leader in "Energy: State Regulatory & Wholesale Electric Market: New York."
"This team joins the rankings following extensive client endorsement," Chambers said in the just-released publication. "The group is recognized for its active [energy] practice before the PSC and other state agencies, representing generators, distributors and developers in a range of regulatory matters."
Chambers bases its selections on a firm's body of work and in-depth interviews they conduct with a range of clients. "Because it is based upon what our clients say and think about us, we are particularly proud of this recognition," said John P. Langan, Hiscock & Barclay's Managing Partner.
Chambers also noted the firm's regulatory capabilities and singled out Partners Maureen O. Helmer, former Chair of NY Public Service Commission, and George M. Pond for their work and the high regard in which they are held by clients for their work in energy and regulatory matters.
"The acknowledgement of the combination of our people, our effectiveness and the high level of client satisfaction by Chambers, demonstrates the commitment we have made to serving the energy industry," said Richard R. Capozza, chair of Hiscock & Barclay's Energy Practice Area.
