Baker Donelson has been recognized by Southern Business and Development magazine as one of the "Best Economic Development Law Firms" in Mississippi and Tennessee.
The publication polled the members of the Southern Economic Development Roundtable, a group of economic developers, educators, economists, site consultants and CEOs in the South, to vote on 30 categories in each Southern state. The top three vote recipients in each category were recognized by Southern Business and Development magazine, which featured the results across four issues in an insert, entitled "The Best of Economic Development in the American South."
Baker Donelson was listed among the top three firms receiving votes in Mississippi, featured in the Fall 2015 issue, and in Tennessee, featured in the Winter 2015 issue.
The Economic Development Group at Baker Donelson, comprised of more than 40 attorneys, is one of the most evolved and comprehensive economic development practices of any firm in the southeastern United States. The background of the individual attorneys in the public law, public finance, business and real estate sectors make this group uniquely qualified to represent industrial and commercial concerns in partnership with state and local governments throughout the Southeast.
