Benchmark Litigation

The results from Benchmark Litigation stem from the culmination of a six-month research period where their in-house researchers conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. During these interviews, researchers examine recent casework handled by law firms and ask individual litigators to offer their professional opinions on peers.
