Chambers' comments:
District of Columbia
Ranking: 2
The Firm: On the other side of the fence, this firm is well regarded for a "hard hitting" plaintiffs' media practice. The firm's reputation in the area rests almost entirely on leading litigator Thomas Yannucci. Felt to be "at the top of the profession," Yannucci represents large corporate clients in libel and defamation claims. he distinguished himself in cases such as Chiquita Brands International's claims against Gannett Company and The Cincinnati Enquirer, concerning the right to anonymity of a journalist's confidential source.
