Lawdragon is a global leader in lawyer branding and recognition. Since publishing our first Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America in 2005, we have added practice and regional guides including Leading Litigators, Dealmakers, LDX – The Next Generation as well as Leaders in Legal Strategy & Consulting and Litigation Finance.
We conduct independent research and accept nominations. We have designed our nomination process to be as straightforward and simple as possible, as we are mindful of the burden these important branding tools can impose on firms. We also offer bespoke nomination programs to help firms target and make their submissions through our Enhanced Nominations Program – contact Carlton Dyce at carlton@lawdragon.com for more information.
