We are delighted to publish our 5th annual Lawdragon Global 100 Leaders in Legal Strategy & Consulting.
The ascendance of outside professionals as key advisers on some of the most critical issues law firms face globally has been breathtaking. (So much so that some of the most pivotal financial consiglieres have been spun off in their own guide, the Lawdragon 100 Global Leaders in Legal Finance.)
The 100 global leaders recognized here are the cream of the crop in crisis communications; marketing & communication; management consulting; professional recruiting – and even an historical detective. We embrace the creativity of those called upon by the nation’s top lawyers and delight in uncovering specialties and professionals making their mark in expected – as well as surprising – ways. The point is excellence, and that’s what you’ll get from those recognized here.
As ever, our process relies upon submissions, journalistic research and peer vetting. We appreciate the many, many professionals who entrust us with their confidential assessment, which is critical to the quality of the Lawdragon guides.
This year’s guide recognizes 43 percent women and is 13 percent inclusive.
New this year is the creation of a Hall of Fame recognition for those consultants whose strategic insight has been unsurpassed in a career dedicated to helping law firms ascend. Nine standouts are recognized here (denoted by an asterisk), laying the foundation for permanent recognition of this important craft.
