Benchmark Litigation’s awards are the culmination of a six-month research period, where researchers conducted extensive interviews with litigators and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. Researchers examined recent casework handled by law firms, and asked litigators to offertheir professional opinions on peers. Firms cannot pay to be recommended for the guide. Instead, firms have been independently offered the opportunity for listing.
