Global | Press release - Recognition | July 22, 2021
Acritas has selected 177 Norton Rose Fulbright Lawyers to its 2021 Acritas Stars list, which serves as "a source of highly recommended lawyers, put together purely by the clients who pay for those lawyers, with no influence from law firms."
Acritas studied several thousands of Acritas Stars candidates with the aim of understanding what makes a successful lawyer. This list is based on analysis of more than 8,000 client interviews. Acritas Stars received nominations from more than one client and are hailed as "standout lawyers who create a significant uplift in client satisfaction, advocacy and share of wallet."
Nominations are collected during a broader research study of senior in-house counsel. Research has revealed the impact Acritas Stars make on a variety of performance metrics, including quality of service, closeness to client, innovativeness and cost-effectiveness.
Acritas is a global legal services market business research firm, which also conducts Norton Rose Fulbright's market-leading Litigation Trends Annual Survey.
Below is a list of Norton Rose Fulbright's 2021 Acritas Stars.
