Lawyer feedback and client feedback are at the heart of the research. Specifically, clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups, addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Lawyers provided feedback on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to a firm, and whether they consider a firm a worthy competitor. In addition, lawyers were asked to vote on law firms that have a preeminent national presence within specified legal practice area(s) they know well. In addition to information from these surveys, the “Best Law Firms” rankings incorporate the evaluations of individual leading lawyers collected by Best Lawyers in its most recent annual survey. All of the quantitative and qualitative data were combined into an overall “Best Law Firms” score for each firm.
