In judging these awards we have studied the nominations made by clients and fellow professionals. All lawyers on this website are leaders in their fields but the exceptional performances of some deserve recognition.
The editors have chosen one individual and one firm as outstanding in each of the 29 practice areas. We also give Who's Who Legal awards to the outstanding firms in 50 countries and five US states.
Finally, we have selected one firm to receive the accolade Who's Who Legal: Law Firm of the Year 2008.
