Best Law Firm Tier Rankings
Rankings are in tiers for both national and metropolitan awards. Tiers reflect the scale of a firm’s work while accounting for its geographic region. (1) Rather than a sequential ranking system, a tier system is employed, since the differences in law firm overall scores is often quite small. (2)
Best Law Firms explains, “The first tier in each metropolitan area includes those firms that score within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firms; the second tier, those firms that score within a certain percentage of the next highest scoring firms and so on.” (3)
The organization continues, “National rankings are based on metropolitan awards as well as on the number of offices each firm has and on the level of legal activity in each jurisdiction.” (4)
