1. Evidence collection
Researchers review representative matters, complexity, jurisdictional relevance, client outcomes where verifiable, professional standing, and current practice focus.
2. Independent assessment
Submissions, public records, client interviews, and peer feedback inform a structured editorial score. Commercial relationships are excluded from ranking decisions.
3. Review and publication
Senior editors review proposed positions for consistency. Every ranking carries an update date, and material corrections are documented promptly.
What a ranking means
A high position indicates strong evidence against our published criteria. It is not a guarantee of a result, legal advice, or a substitute for the client’s own due diligence.
