Methodology Nomination process: To appear in an Expert Guide, an individual needs to be nominated independently by other practitioners, and to avoid association bias, the eligible nomination only includes those submitted from outside own their firm. The nomination is run in four stages: general nomination, independent research, candidates selection, and shortlisting. General nomination We approach legal practitioners in more than 100 jurisdictions and invite them to submit the candidates for the leading practitioners (from outside their own firms) for each practice area we research. We ask reasons for nominations and seek any additional background as to why an individual should be included in the list. Candidates selection We validate the submissions, rank all eligible individuals and select the candidates who pass a certain nomination threshold. Shortlisting We conduct telephone interviews to discuss this list with a select group of advisers. Independent research We use the unique resources of Legal Media Group’s array of magazine titles, directories, awards and events, a year-round supply of press releases, and a well developed database of contacts. This ensures a fair, balanced and objective selection process.
