The Legal 500 is a guide and directory aimed at providing clients with a comprehensive and objective overview of the best law firms in each region, compiled annually. During the ranking process, firms are marked on a number of criteria, including technical expertise, innovation in practice, capability and capacity for complex cases. Feedback is collected and rankings are allocated accordingly to inform the overall directory, which is then accompanied by an editorial section which provides more detailed information about each firm and its specialisms.
