A new guide to the legal profession — the Legal 500 U.S. City Elite rankings – is featuring VHH as one of only two Tier One firms in North Texas for Energy Transactions and Litigation.

In the same practice area, partners Rob Vartabedian, Craig Haynes, and Alix Allison are among the 24 top attorneys in the region honored in this inaugural list.

The publication’s editor notes the City Elite rankings were created to recognize firms and individual lawyers in major markets who are not associated with large-scale national and internation firms. Legal 500’s selection process begins with researchers creating a list of prospective candidates, which is extensively reviewed by editors, and includes interviews with top practitioners, referee and peer feedback, and evidence of key matters worked on by the ranked attorneys during the past year.
