PETER BENNETT SELECTED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE 2006 EDITION OF THE BEST LAWYERS IN AMERICA

Peter Bennett, President of The Bennett Law Firm in Portland, Maine, has been selected by his peers to be included in the 2006 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Peter Bennett is President of The Bennett Law Firm, a Portland, Maine based law firm which specializes in representing management on issues of employment and labor law throughout New England.

Responsiveness to the legal community is one reason why Best Lawyers is widely regarded – by both the profession and the public – as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. Best Lawyers has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, and The Washington Post, and is the basis of more than 50 “best lawyers” features in regional newspapers and magazines. ALM has chosen our lists to be excerpted in Corporate Counsel and other ALM publications, calling Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
The standard for inclusion in Best Lawyers is as rigorous as it has always been. More than 18,500 leading attorneys throughout the country cast more than a million votes on the legal abilities of their colleagues. Because no fee or purchase is required to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is still considered a singular honor.

Bennett has written and lectured extensively on employment law issues, and has authored chapters in numerous books on employment and insurance law. He is also a Director of the International Society of Primerus Law Firms and Past President of the Boston University School of Law Alumni Association. Bennett is also the Vice Chair of the American Bar Association’s 36,000 member Tort, Trial and Insurance Practice Section.

Bennett resides in Cumberland Foreside with his wife Sandy and daughter Haley.
