Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.” The listings reach more than 16 million readers in dozens of city and regional publications throughout the U.S. In Philadelphia, Best Lawyers magazine is featured as a stand-alone publication inside The Philadelphia Inquirer, included live on Law.com and distributed to all subscribers of The Legal Intelligencer.
