Newark and Princeton, NJ, March 22, 2010 — Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is proud to announce that two of the firm's attorneys have been honored by their peers and selected to the New Jersey Rising Stars list. Representing only the top 2.5 percent of New Jersey's lawyers, the Rising Stars were chosen as being among the top up-and-coming lawyers (40 years old or younger, or in practice 10 years or less).

Those honored are Peter M. Avery in Employment & Labor from the Newark office; and Lisa S. Wren in Banking from the Princeton office.

The selection process includes peer nominations, peer review by practice area and independent research on candidates.

The list of New Jersey Rising Stars will be published by Law & Politics, a division of Key Professional Media, Inc., in the April 2010 issue of New Jersey Super Lawyers magazine as well as in the April edition of New Jersey Monthly.
