The regional rankings include seven of the firm’s office locations.

The report, now in its 10th year, is compiled by surveying thousands of law firm clients and lawyers. Firms are then ranked for their expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, integrity, and whether a client or lawyer would refer business to the firm. The mission of the “Best Law Firms” rankings is to help guide referring lawyers and clients who are seeking corporate legal advice.
