Download the app for free from the iTunes Store (Android app coming soon!). With the notable exception of our list of senior litigators, we do not rank individual lawyers. We highlight some key people in editorial paragraphs, but our main goal is to provide a snapshot of the market based on our assessment of the overall strength and depth of a practice group. Where other market leaders want to be comprehensive, we are exclusive and deliberately focus on the true superstars of the profession. We organize each area of activity into a single national ranking and move away from a state-by-state approach. Only a small number of companies in the U.S. have a truly national presence coupled with the ability to handle demanding and complex jobs. These are the ones we would like to highlight here. This is not a numbers game – many of the companies involved are even small individual companies – but simply a matter of quality. Our research-based editorial and thought leadership series.
