Best Lawyers

Founded more than 40 years ago, Best Lawyers® was the first organization dedicated to recognizing excellence in the legal profession. Since then, our Purely Peer Review® process has set the standard for merit-based legal distinction, earning the respect of lawyers and firms worldwide, with more than 13 million confidential evaluations submitted annually. The process is highly selective, with only 5% of U.S. lawyers and 3% globally earning this honor. Rigorous bias-filtering ensures integrity and fairness, making inclusion a mark of sustained achievement and trust within the legal community. Beyond recognition, Best Lawyers equips law firms and lawyers with a full suite of resources to enhance visibility, credibility and client connections. Built for the realities of modern legal marketing, these resources include digital marketing, print and web advertising, thought-leadership platforms, client and industry reports and more. These resources are designed to help lawyers communicate their strengths and reach the clients who need them most. Best Lawyer’s mission is to bring clarity to the legal selection process, helping clients find credible, experienced counsel and foster lasting confidence and trust between lawyers and those they serve.
