Country- and practice area-specific, the “Law Firm of the Year” award is determined based on feedback from recognised lawyers (using a purely peer review methodology), the size and coverage of the firm in a specific practice area, historical analysis of the firm’s “Lawyer of the Year” awards, and research on the firm’s overall scope and areas of expertise. It employs a sophisticated, rational, and transparent survey process that is designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services.
