Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, helping lawyers and clients find legal counsel in unfamiliar jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties.
Best Lawyers compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. In the U.S., Best Lawyers publishes an annual referral guide, The Best Lawyers in America, which includes 29,575 attorneys in 78 specialties, covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Chambers just ranked ours as one of the country’s leading business law firms.
Awards aren’t everything in the legal profession. Still, when you have been selected as one of the country’s leading business law firms - as Dickinson Wright has - it tells you something. Especially when you consider that Chambers does such extensive research in every state to determine the best business lawyers in the country.
And when you consider that 11 of our lawyers achieved individual recognition in five featured practice areas, it just substantiates everything we have been known for since 1878 - credibility, creativity, depth of experience and intellectual firepower. Put our reputation to work for you and let us add value to your enterprise.
Super Lawyers is a listing of outstanding lawyers from more than 60 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
Super Lawyers is published as a special supplement in leading newspapers and city and regional magazines across the country. Super Lawyers magazine, featuring articles about attorneys named to the Super Lawyers list, is distributed to all attorneys in the state or region, the lead corporate counsel of Russell 3000 companies and the ABA-approved law school libraries.
