Partner Brian M. Heaton named to BTI Consulting Group's Prestigious Client Service All-Stars 2016 Listing
February 8, 2016
The law firm of Krieg DeVault is proud to announce that Partner and Business, Acquisitions, and Securities Practice Group Chair Brian M. Heaton has been named to BTI Consulting Group’s (“BTI”) prestigious Client Service All-Stars 2016 Listing.
Each year, BTI reaches out to a sample of legal decision makers at large organizations with $1 billion or more in revenue, seeking recommendations of attorneys that have delivered superior client service. Heaton, one of only three attorneys to receive this honor in the State of Indiana, was nominated by a large Indiana-based manufacturing company for providing outstanding mergers and acquisitions counsel.
“I am honored to be named to BTI’s 2016 Client Service All-Stars listing,” said Heaton. “Our firm prides itself on the outstanding client service we offer to each of our valued clients, and I am fortunate to work with so many colleagues who would be equally deserving of this honor. We value the confidence our clients have in our firm to become integrated, long-term partners within their businesses.”
The BTI Client Service All-Stars is a data-driven ranking based solely on in-depth telephone interviews with leading legal decision makers. This research is independent and unbiased—no law firm or attorney sponsors this study, influences the results, submits nominations, or provides client names to BTI. The only possible avenue for becoming a BTI Client Service All-Star is for corporate counsel to identify an attorney who stands out—above all the others—for delivering superior client service, in an unprompted manner.
