The Web Marketing Association has awarded Minneapolis-based Fredrikson & Byron, P.A., the 2007 Legal Standard of Excellence WebAward.

Currently in its 11th year, the WebAwards annually honors the best websites in 96 industries.

Longtime partners leave Heller Ehrman
After a 65-person layoff just a few weeks ago, Heller Ehrman was dealt another major blow as two longtime, loyal partners, Patricia Gillette and Jerry Marks, left for competing firms. One additional labor partner and four associates also left. After 17 years with the firm, Gillette — who served as co-chairwoman of the labor and employment practice — joined Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe. Marks, a securities litigator, left his post as managing partner of the Los Angeles office to join Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.
