Benchmark Litigation is the only publication in the United States that focuses solely on litigation. The selection process involves an eight-month research period, in which the publisher's researchers conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients, and an examination of recent casework handled by the firms, with the goal of identifying "the firms and attorneys who have displayed the ability to consistently handle complex, high-stakes cases in multiple jurisdictions."
Benchmark Litigation Labor & Employment focuses exclusively on litigators and trial lawyers specifically within the practice areas of labor and employment. Recommendations are based on interviews with the nation’s leading private practice lawyers and in-house counsel.
