Best Lawyers® has highlighted the extraordinary accomplishments of those in the legal profession around the world for over 40 years. We use an extensive and thorough process of nomination and peer review voting, which allows us to offer unbiased legal referrals from the best lawyers in the world.
Lawyers who are nominated for consideration are voted on by currently recognized Best Lawyers® working in the same practice area and located in the same geographic region. Our awards and recognitions are based purely on the feedback we receive from these top lawyers. Those who receive high peer reviews undergo a thorough verification process to make sure they are currently still in private practice. Only then can these top lawyers be recognized by Best Lawyers.
