The Legal 500 approach is not a game of numbers – their ranking can include small, single-office firms – but simply a question of quality.

The Legal 500 analyzes the capabilities of law firms across the world and provides legal rankings based on a series of criteria. The Legal 500 highlights practice area teams who are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice to corporate counsel. The Legal 500 research is based on feedback from 250,000 clients worldwide, submissions from law firms and interviews with leading private practice lawyers, and a team of researchers who have experience in the legal market.
