Klinedinst is proud to have its attorneys featured in the annual publication of Best Lawyers®.

Since its launch in 1981, Best Lawyers has become one of the most trusted peer review publications in the legal industry. Each year, Best Lawyers aims to recognize the professional achievements and capabilities of top lawyers in private practice. The selection process begins with the nomination of a lawyer by another peer in their field. Self-nominations are not permitted, and nominations can come from clients and other lawyers.

Once nominations are received, lawyers previously recognized in Best Lawyers provide feedback on the caliber of the nominee’s work. That feedback is collected and analyzed, and the publication checks to ensure each candidate is in good standing with their local bar associations. Once research is complete,  lawyers are then announced by Best Lawyers in both print and digital media.

Today, Best Lawyers publishes its picks for top lawyers in 76 regions around the world, including 22 global markets. Best Lawyers also publishes a “Ones to Watch” list in specific markets, highlighting up-and-coming legal leaders who are already making a positive impact in their legal community.

We encourage you to learn more about each of these attorneys.
