What is Best Lawyers?

First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is now a go-to, universally recognized guide to excellent legal representation across the globe. Attorneys who receive this prestigious distinction are not asked or allowed to pay a fee to be on the list. Instead, it’s entirely peer-driven, with over 36,000 leading attorneys casting over four million votes praising the legal prowess of other attorneys within their practice areas.

On August 18, 2023, the 2023 Edition of the Best Lawyers and “Lawyer of the Year” awards will be released to the public. Best Lawyers® peer-reviewed listings are published in over 70 countries worldwide and cover 147 practice areas. Inclusion is merited when an attorney receives high enough voter feedback from their peers. “Lawyer of the Year” status is awarded to the lawyer that receives the highest peer-reviewed feedback in a practice area and region. The Best Lawyers® recognition is a substantial measure of the caliber and expertise provided by our firm and attorneys.
