United States | Press release - Recognition | 11月 2023
Best Lawyers has recognized 46 Norton Rose Fulbright practice groups with national rankings in the 2024 edition of "Best Law Firms," 23 of which attained top tier status.
In addition, 169 local practices were ranked regionally, with 121 groups achieving Tier 1.
Best Law Firms recognizes exceptional law firms identified based on consistently positive reviews from clients and peers.
To be eligible, a law firm must have at least one lawyer listed in Best Lawyers in America for that location and practice area. According to Best Lawyers, only four percent of firms in the US are considered for a Best Law Firm ranking.
Rankings are determined through a rigorous evaluation process of client and lawyer evaluations, peer reviews from leading lawyers in their field and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.
National and metropolitan Tier 1 rankings will be featured in both print and digital editions of the 14th Best Law Firms publication.
