This rating is the highest ranking attainable by an attorney for ability and ethics in the practice of law. It is a distinction reserved for a select few in the legal community.” In 2015, Mr. Sipos received the top ranking from Chambers & Partners in the General Business Law category for the Pacific Islands.
