Also named for the eleventh straight year is Brad Stanford, a litigator with over 25 years of courtroom experience. Brad's practice focuses on commercial litigation and he is a recognized leader in ski area defense and recreational products liability defense.
 

Tara Schleicher was recognized for her work in the bankruptcy and creditors' rights area for the ninth consecutive year and was named to the 2016 Top 25 Women Oregon Super Lawyers list for receiving the highest point totals in the Oregon nomination. She is one of only seven attorneys in Oregon certified as a business bankruptcy specialist by the American Board of Certification.
