Jay Rothman Honored for Client Service Skills by BTI Consulting Firm.
Foley announced today that Jay O. Rothman, a partner in the Business Law Department in the firm’s Milwaukee office, has been named to the 2007 BTI Client Service All-Star Team for Law Firms. In addition, Rothman was one of five attorneys recognized as a 2007 “Super All-Star” for being nominated by more than one client.
“Jay has always focused on developing strong client relationships. He truly deserves this recognition of his efforts to ensure that our clients receive the best service possible,” said Joseph B. Tyson Jr., chair of the firm’s Business Law Department. “Jay’s performance exemplifies the firm’s commitment to the best interests of our clients.”
The BTI Client Service All-Star Team honors individual attorneys whom corporate counsel identify as providing outstanding client service to Fortune 1000 clients. Attorneys are nominated for being highly responsive to the client’s individual goals; providing strategic legal advice in the context of client-specific issues; going above and beyond the call of duty to deliver results; and having an exceptional understanding of the client’s business.
To compile the list, the BTI Consulting Group surveyed more than 250 individual corporate counsel at large and Fortune 1000 companies on the quality of service they receive from their lawyers. The 2007 BTI Client Service All-Star Team for Law Firms lists the 113 individual attorneys from 93 law firms that corporate counsel believe provide the best service. Foley was also recently named to the BTI Client Service 30 list for the fifth consecutive year, and as a Market Trailblazer on the 2006 BTI Market Movers list, both of which recognize law firms for their exceptional client service.
