Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC

Labor and Employment Attorney Mark Neuberger Noted in Article on The Education Fund
Labor and Employment attorney Mark J. Neuberger's participation in the Great American Teach-A-Thon was noted in the July 16, 2006, edition of The Miami Herald in an article on The Education Fund, a North Miami-based nonprofit that supports Miami-Dade Public Schools.

The Great American Teach-A-Thon pairs volunteers in the classroom for a day, raising pledge money based upon the number of hours the volunteers teach.

Neuberger was among the volunteers in November for a two-hour teaching experience.

""We just did it for a few hours — teachers do that every day,"" he told The Herald. ""I think anything that brings greater interaction between the business community and the education community is a benefit. More businesses should go into schools to see what's going on.

Bingham McCutchen, LLP

Bingham McCutchen Named to A-List
The American Lawyer has ranked Bingham McCutchen #16 on its 2006 A-List. The A-List is a select group of the country's top 20 law firms, which, according to the legal industry's premier legal publication, comprises "the nation's law firm elite." Drawn from four different American Lawyer Media rankings of the 200 largest law firms in the U.S., the A-List "looks beyond simple business results to identify firms that set the standard for their peers in areas including economic performance, pro bono work, associate satisfaction and diversity." In describing Bingham McCutchen, The American Lawyer states: "Few firms have managed merger mania as gracefully...Bingham has also burnished its securities litigation credentials with a series of lateral hires from in-house and government positions -- including Donald Davidson, Herbert Janick III, and W. Hardy Callcott." This year, the firm raised its revenue per lawyer score by 10.5 percent and jumped from #31 to #19 in the pro bono ranking. This is the second time that Bingham McCutchen has been named to this highly prestigious list.
