During the recommendation stages Global Law Experts received over 14,000 responses from business directors, in-house counsel, independent law firms, high net-worth individuals, bar associations, visitors to the GLE website and LinkedIn users. These recommendations were combined with GLE’s own independent research to create a shortlist of firms for each key country and practice area.

The shortlisted firms were judged on client testimonials, key cases from the past 12 months, legal rankings, overall reputation, publication contribution, speaking engagements and the performance and standing of the team’s individual attorneys.
