About Best Lawyers®, Lawyer of the Year and One’s to Watch
Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Best Lawyers’ process is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services.
Best Lawyers also recognizes individual lawyers with the highest overall peer-review feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.
Best Lawyers: “Ones to Watch” awards recognize lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years. Like traditional Best Lawyers awards, a Best Lawyers: “Ones to Watch” recognition is based entirely on peer review.
