First published in 2005, Lawdragon describes Leading Lawyers as its flagship guide. “We are fiercely proud of this guide, the lawyers on it, the process that creates it and what it means: that being a great lawyer, a powerful lawyer is not just a plaque on the wall. It is an act of courage to never give up on behalf of a client, a firm, and this notion of justice that can seem as divergent as unifying,” writes Lawdragon publisher Katrina Dewey.
Honorees are selected through an extensive research process. They are required to have shown outstanding skills for at least 15 years in practice, and most are partners or hold firm leadership positions. Read the full list here.
