How are lawyers selected for US Elite?

Our research includes interviews with top practitioners, referee and peer feedback, and evidence of key matters worked on by the ranked attorneys during the past year. Our selection process begins with researchers creating a list of prospective candidates, which is extensively reviewed by our editorial team.

All shortlisted lawyers are invited to make a submission and participate in a brief 30-minute interview with our researchers, while submissions and interviews are also open to all qualifying attorneys.  During the interview, we also solicit extensive peer feedback regarding other lawyers operating in their respective legal sectors. Lawyers are also invited to supply client references to support their inclusion.
