The Law Firms Top Legal Decision Makers Recommend Above All Others

Every recommendation a trusted peer offers is a personal endorsement. It stands behind the type of provider — the commitment, service, quality, and demeanor — you are willing to entrust to a peer — from whom they would expect the same.

"Which law firm do you recommend to your peers?"

Based on more than 340 in-depth interviews with top legal decision makers conducted between March 2022 and September 2022.
