Best Lawyers®, the oldest and most respected Purely Peer Review® research and accolades company in the legal profession, announced today the upcoming launch of its rebranded United States Best Law Firms rankings on a new digital platform, Bestlawfirms.com, which will be available on August 1st, 2023.
The website features a comprehensive appraisal of more than 15,000 firms in dozens of areas of legal practice in more than 180 regions across the U.S., evaluated through Best Lawyers’ proven awards process. Earning a Best Law Firms ranking is based on qualitative and quantitative data on skillset, achievements and client successes, collected through a submission process managed by Best Lawyers. This milestone event also marks the first time in more than a decade that Best Lawyers is hosting its Best Law Firms rankings independently.
The new digital platform also will be the exclusive home of the 14th edition of the Best Law Firms rankings when they are unveiled in November 2023.
"We are thrilled to embark on a new era for Best Lawyers,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer. “Best Law Firms rankings have always been differentiated by the credibility and transparent communication that exist at the core of what we do. Simultaneously, we continually listen carefully to what the legal industry needs globally. Pairing the rankings with this new platform enables us to double down on that promise, as well as offer new ways for law firms to market their rankings and products that make them differentiators, as well.”
This innovative strategic direction for Best Law Firms will empower the brand to expand across additional legal categories and geographic regions, while creating more touchpoints for stakeholders — such as law firms, general counsel, chief legal officers, legal marketers and others — to engage with their peers around industry-leading insights. In addition, this move will enable Best Lawyers to effectively offer enhanced solutions such as digital education (webinars, events), a more highly informed, content-focused network, robust editorial research and more thought-leadership content.
Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review research and accolades company in the legal profession.
