Benchmark Litigation is the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on litigation in the U.S. and is part of a constellation of global ranking resources. Its annual guide highlights firms and litigators of an “elite” status and is billed as the “definitive guide to the world’s leading litigation firms and lawyers.”

Firm and individual selections for Benchmark Litigation are based on comprehensive interviews with clients, litigators and dispute resolution professionals. Casework and peer opinions are solicited and taken into consideration as well. Recommended firms are those consistently mentioned in interviews. “Litigation Stars” are those “recommended consistently as reputable and effective litigators by clients and peers.” Attorneys named to the “40 & Under” list are “young ambitious and accomplished lawyers (who) frequently handle major cases – some of which are high-stakes or precedent-setting,” making them “among the top young talent in their respective litigation communities in the U.S.”
