In the June 29th edition of the National Law Journal, Bowman and Brooke was named as one of only 20 midsized firms on the publication's "Midsize Hot List". The National Law Journal's inaugural Midsize Hot List represents law firms across the country that, according to the newspaper, "have demonstrated creative, innovative strategies to stay competitive. From piles of nominations they received, the NLJ selected firms that have found new ways to recruit and retain top talent, develop practice areas, manage their operations and position themselves to stay on track during the economic upheaval."
