Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Almost 94,000 industry-leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and Best Lawyers has received over 11 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.” In 2020, Best Lawyers endeavored to expand its offerings to a new segment of lawyers and released the inaugural Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch awards in the U.S. Using the same peer-review methodology that Best Lawyers has utilized for over four decades, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognized associates who have been in private practice for less than 10 years in the United States. To date, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch has expanded into nine regions with plans for further expansion.
