MAY 29, 2019 – Chambers and Partners, publisher of the world's most highly regarded guides to the legal profession, has recognized 86 Davis Wright Tremaine attorneys for industry-leading excellence.

Other accolades include the following:
- The firm was ranked as a nationwide leader in Advertising: Transactional & Regulatory; Food & Beverages: Alcohol; and Franchising.
- The firm was newly recognized in California for Labor & Employment.

- Two lawyers were newly listed in nationwide practice areas: David Ernst for Food & Beverages: Regulatory & Litigation and Matt LeMaster for Leisure & Hospitality.
