AUGUSTA,
Ga., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Best
Lawyers®, the world's oldest and most respected peer-review
research and marketing company in the legal profession, today
announced the release of its 31st edition of The Best
Lawyers in America® and fifth edition of Best Lawyers: Ones
to Watch® in America. These prestigious recognitions
highlight outstanding legal talent and represent the top 5% of
lawyers across the United States,
providing invaluable guidance to clients and legal
professionals.
The 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America features
lawyers from 204 metropolitan areas spanning 150 practice areas.
More than 23 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in almost
80,000 honorees. This year's edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to
Watch in America highlights over 26,000 of the next generation
of legal leaders in 79 practice areas, representing the
profession's future.
The "Lawyer of the Year" has been awarded to only 5,223
honorees. This accolade reflects the rigorous peer-review process
that underpins the Best Lawyers methodology, ensuring that only the
most exceptional legal talent is recognized.
"The continued growth of The Best Lawyers in America and
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are testaments to the
dedication and expertise of the legal professionals recognized each
year," said Phillip Greer, CEO of
Best Lawyers. "We are proud to showcase the remarkable achievements
of these lawyers, who contribute significantly to the legal
industry and their clients' overall success."
Commercial Litigation emerged as a dominant practice area
experiencing substantial growth in recent years. The evolving
nature of the legal industry, particularly in areas such as Labor
and Employment Litigation and Insurance Law, has also led to
increased recognition for lawyers specializing in these fields.
While Washington, D.C. and
New York City continue to be
leading metropolitan areas for recognized lawyers, Best Lawyers
offers comprehensive coverage beyond these major legal hubs,
ensuring that legal talent from across the country is acknowledged
and celebrated.
