Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers® lists are compiled based on an exhaustive Purely Peer Review® evaluation. For the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, more than 13.7 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 76,000 leading lawyers being included in the new edition. “Lawyer of the Year” honors are awarded annually to only one lawyer per practice area in each region with extremely high overall feedback from their peers, making it an exceptional distinction. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers® “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.” For more information, visit https://www.bestlawyers.com/methodology.
