Clients were asked to provide feedback on expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Peers voted on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to a firm, and whether they consider a firm a worthy competitor. The 2011-12 rankings include input on more than 41,000 individual attorneys based on 3.9 million evaluations produced by clients and peer lawyers.
