Gray Plant Mooty Attorneys Named 2010 Washington, DC “Super Lawyers”
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (March 3, 2010) — The law firm of Gray Plant Mooty is pleased to announce that two of its attorneys—Peter Klarfeld and Eric Yaffe—have been named 2010 Washington, DC “Super Lawyers.” Klarfeld and Yaffe will be recognized in Washington, DC Super Lawyers magazine and the March/April 2010 issue of DC magazine.
“Super Lawyers” are identified through a comprehensive, peer-reviewed evaluation process, which includes surveying thousands of attorneys and asking them to nominate the best attorneys they have personally observed in action. Nominees are scored based on the number of votes they receive, with more weight given to votes from outside their own firms. Only the top 5 percent of lawyers, from nearly 70 practice areas, are named "Super Lawyers.”
Klarfeld concentrates his practice on franchise litigation. He is one of the most experienced franchise trial and appellate lawyers in the country and has represented many of the largest franchisors in federal and state courts throughout the United States. Klarfeld is also a well-respected leader of the franchise bar.
Yaffe is the managing officer of Gray Plant Mooty’s Washington, DC, office and a cochair of the firm's Business & General Litigation practice group. He is also a member of the firm's Franchise & Distribution practice group and heads the firm's White Collar Defense team. Previously, Yaffe served nine years as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice.
