9 Moss & Barnett Congratulates its “Lawyer of the Year” For 2018 Moss & Barnett Spirit of Giving Best Lawyers® has named Kevin M. Busch as the Minneapolis Best Lawyers Financial Services Regulation Law “Lawyer of the Year” for 2018. Best Lawyers began designating “Lawyers of the Year” in the United States in high-profile legal practice areas in conjunction with its 15th edition (2009). Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. Lawyers who are honored as “Lawyer of the Year” are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during exhaustive peer review assessments conducted with thousands of leading lawyers each year. Designation as “Lawyer of the Year” reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for his or her abilities, professionalism, and integrity. In addition to chairing Moss & Barnett’s banking and commercial transactions team, Kevin serves as Moss & Barnett’s Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and is a director on its board of directors. Since 1981, Kevin has practiced in the areas of bank regulation, commercial lending, real estate lending, and UCC. He has been repeatedly listed in The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers. Kevin was also named a Best Lawyers’ Minneapolis Financial Services Regulation Law “Lawyer of the Year” in 2015. Congratulations, Kevin, for this well-deserved recognition! Every year, Breaking Free helps an average of 400-500 women and girls escape systems of prostitution and sexual exploitation through advocacy, direct services, housing, and education. This past holiday season – and for the fifth year in a row – the firm’s women attorneys “adopted” two Breaking Free families for the holidays. Our attorneys supplied gifts and gift cards according to each family’s “wishes,” helping to ensure that these families had a joyful holiday. In addition, members of the firm continue to donate various daily items in need such as pots and pans, silverware, and women and children’s clothing.
