Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in
which more than 25,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the
legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are
not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, 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.”
