The 2011 edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business was released today, and Dickinson, Mackaman, Tyler & Hagen, P.C. received high rankings from Chambers in the Corporate/M&A: Banking & Finance area. “This Des Moines firm has a strong practice in corporate and banking law,” writes the Chambers editorial team. “Clients praise its flexible approach that assembles the most appropriate lawyers at the firm to suit the job in hand. Sources say: ‘The group is highly organized, prompt, knowledgeable and confident, and gives excellent service to clients.’”
Three Dickinson attorneys received individual recognition in the area of Corporate/M&A, as follows:
Richard Malm is an "outstanding lawyer" who provides general corporate counsel alongside litigation advice. He co-chairs the corporate department alongside Marc Ward, a lawyer with a wide corporate and banking practice and a niche specialty in limited liability company issues. "He has a direct and straightforward style and gives guidance on issues likely to come up further down the line," say clients. Howard Hagen is championed as "one of the very top banking practitioners in the state right now." Chair of the banking department, he's praised for his "off-the-charts knowledge of the banking industry." He acts for banks and bank holding companies, and provides general corporate advice to businesses.
In addition, Howard Hagen was named a “Star Individual” in the area of Banking & Finance, the only attorney in Iowa to earn this distinction.
