Brooks Gruemmer Named Client Service All-Star
CHICAGO (January 10, 2007) — McDermott Will & Emery partner Brooks Gruemmer was named to the BTI Client Service All-Star Team, a report released by BTI Consulting Group. The report honors individual lawyers whom clients identify as providing outstanding client service. This report was compiled from the results of interviews of corporate counsel at Fortune 1000 and other large, US based companies that focused on clients’ needs, expectations and clients’ overall satisfaction with law firms. Mr. Gruemmer was one of approximately 100 lawyers in the US recognized by BTI.
BTI has conducted this survey since 2001, and each year McDermott lawyers have been recognized for their client service. Previous McDermott All-Star Team members include Robert Bouma, Michael Fayhee, Paul Hamburger, Michael Peregrine, David Rogers and David Ryder.
In 2005, McDermott ranked 8th in BTI's annual client service survey, "The Survey of Client Service Performance for Law Firms." The Firm was recognized as one of only six law firms to be designated as "client service standouts," a designation for those law firms that have been in the top 30 for client service for four years. This survey was compiled as a result of interviews with 200 corporate counsel at Fortune 1000 and other large, U.S.-based companies.
Mr. Gruemmer has a broad range of transactional and business counseling experience, with an emphasis on mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations, joint ventures and the related financing required to fund such transactions. He earned his J.D. cum laude and Order of the Coif from the University of Michigan Law School and his B.B.A. with highest honors from the University of Notre Dame.
