In the Aug. 23 edition, the Hamilton County Herald published a list of Chattanooga-area legal professionals named to the recent publications “The Best Lawyers in America” and “Best Lawyers: Ones To Watch In America” that was, despite our efforts, incomplete.
Additionally, the names listed under “Husch Blackwell Best Lawyers” were instead this year’s Ones To Watch list, and the actual slate of the firm’s Best Lawyers is listed below.
The Herald regrets the oversight, and if any firms still haven’t been reflected in last week’s or this week’s publication, please direct media releases to [email protected] for further clarification.
