Since its first publication in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become regarded as the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice. Based on exhaustive peer-review evaluation, its methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional capabilities of their colleagues in the same geographical and legal practice areas.
The new Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, is also based entirely on peer review and recognizes extraordinary attorneys who have been in private practice for less than 10 years in the United States.
“Lawyer of the Year” is awarded to individual attorneys with the highest overall peer- feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region, and only one lawyer is recognized as such for each specialty and location.
