Since it was first published in 1983, The Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. The Best Lawyers® lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. More than 116,000 industry leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and Best Lawyers® has received more than 17 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world.
For the 2023 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than 12.2 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 71,000 leading lawyers honored in the new edition. “Lawyer of the Year” honors are awarded annually to only one lawyer per practice area in each region with extremely high overall feedback from their peers, making it an exceptional distinction.
Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore inclusion in Best Lawyers® is considered a singular honor.
