Rhode Island Monthly Recognizes PS&H Attorneys in 15 Practice Areas

Partridge Snow & Hahn is proud to have 25 attorneys in 15 practice areas recognized in the 2021 Professional Excellence in Law section of Rhode Island Monthly’s June issue.

The honorees, who are showcased as top local attorneys in their respective areas of practice, are chosen on several criteria ranging from peer reviews, feedback from professionals in related fields, professional standing, and other data collected by a third-party survey and data company.

Also in the issue, Rhode Island Monthly asked some of the 2021 Professional Excellence in Law recipients to share the unique situations their clients faced due to COVID-19 along with how they were able to help them through such difficult times. PS&H managing partner, Howard Merten, is quoted in the issue:

“We service a wide array of clients and COVID-19 impacted them differently. Some clients got busier: helping to respond to the crisis by manufacturing PPE, for example. Others, like restaurants, travel-related companies and entertainment facilities, suffered greatly, struggling to survive and keep their teams intact. Every client faced the challenges of keeping up with confusing and shifting sands of governmental regulations and assistance programs. We found ourselves investing substantial firm resources to digest and understand COVID-related programs, regulations, guidance, and more, positioning us to offer clients meaningful support. We conveyed some advice ‘wholesale’ via our COVID-19 advisory page, but also spent a tremendous amount of time talking with our clients to discuss their experiences and issues. In a lot of ways, as a firm we were dealing with many of the same issues, which allowed us to grow closer to our clients in many unexpected ways.”

PS&H is well represented with Professional Excellence in Law honorees in Rhode Island.
