To be eligible for a 2023 ranking, a law firm must have at least one attorney recognized in the previous edition of The Best Lawyers in America® list, which recognizes the top five percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. 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, for that particular location and specialty.
