Methodology
Our rankings are based on three key criteria:
(i) Work evidence – gleaned from firm submissions and press releases;
(ii) Client feedback – all client referees submitted to us are invited to take part in a survey where they can rate and comment on the firm’s they have used; and
(iii) Peer feedback – our research team conducts hundreds of interviews with lawyers to gather their feedback on the market and our rankings.
We are a qualitative survey and we look, so while we take deal and case value and volumes into account the rankings are not determined by these factors.
What is included
Our firm rankings are divided into the following categories: Outstanding, Highly recommended, Recommended and Notable.
The law firm reviews in this guide include information on work highlights, key clients and client feedback to help you understand each law firm’s strengths. Firm reviews in each jurisdiction are arranged in alphabetical order by firm name.
We hope asialaw 2022 will prove useful and assist you in identifying the most appropriate firm for your needs.
