Leading the Pack
While rankings performance reflects year-on-year consistency, awards recognise the top firms and lawyers based on recent work. Therefore, awards is a key differentiator that reveals who is currently doing outstanding work.
When award wins for Real Estate are considered along with firms that have both tier 1 firm and lawyer rankings, only four firms are featured.
