How Are Best Lawyers Awards Determined?

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 peer-review evaluation with more than 116,000 industry leading lawyers eligible to vote (from around the world), and receiving more than 17 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world. 

For the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than 12.2 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 71,000 leading lawyers honored in the new edition. “Law Firm of the Year” awards recognize a single top firm for its work in a specific legal practice area nationwide. 

Awards are determined based on a handful of factors including lawyer feedback, the number of lawyers included in Best Lawyers™ for that firm and practice area, the number of office locations a firm has, historical analysis of the firm's “Lawyer of the Year” awards, materials submitted by firms, and the firm's overall scope and areas of expertise. “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 nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
