Best Law Firms rankings are determined through a comprehensive, multi-layered evaluation process that incorporates client and professional references, firm-submitted data, lawyer evaluations, and leadership interviews. The 2026 research included input from over 18,700 firms, 27,000 lawyers, and more than 110,800 client submissions, resulting in 26 million evaluations and 16,401 client comments. Eligible firms must have at least one lawyer recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the relevant practice area and jurisdiction.
