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. Over 83,000 leading attorneys globally are eligible to vote. For the 2018 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, 7.3 million votes were analyzed. This resulted in almost 55,000 leading lawyers being included in the new edition.

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.”
