International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP announced today that Best Lawyers (TM) has named 104 Dorsey lawyers as Best Lawyers for 2013.
First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive annual peer-review survey. For the new U.S. edition, more than 24,000 attorneys cast more than 2.8 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in the same and related specialties.
Because of the rigorous and transparent methodology used by Best Lawyers, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
The lawyers listed in Best Lawyers do not decide in which legal specialties they are listed. They are included in specialties as a result of the votes they receive from their peers. The specialties listed are based on information from a variety of sources. For more information visit the Best Lawyers website.
Listed below are the Dorsey lawyers named as Best Lawyers, the specialty in which they are named, the first year they were listed and their office location.
