Indianapolis (13-February-2012) - Forty-seven Faegre Baker Daniels LLP attorneys have been selected to Indiana Super Lawyers for 2012. Additionally, 14 more attorneys at the firm have been designated "Rising Stars," a distinction recognizing the top up-and-coming lawyers.

Super Lawyers is an annual service that rates outstanding lawyers in more than 70 practice areas based on peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes statewide nominations, peer evaluations and independent research.

Selection begins with a survey asking lawyers to nominate the best attorneys they have observed in action. Each nomination carries a point value, and nominations from outside of a lawyer's firm carry a substantially greater value than nominations from within the lawyer's firm. Only the top five percent of Indiana's attorneys are selected among the state's most elite. All honorees are listed on the Super Lawyers website at superlawyers.com.

The "Rising Stars" designation honors leading attorneys who are 40 years or younger and have been practicing for 10 years or less.

Faegre Baker Daniels' 2012 list of Indiana Super Lawyers represents 23 different practice areas and all four Indiana offices. The firm's "Rising Stars" include nine practice areas and all four offices.
