Background information on the selection method:
The selection of lawyers for Compliance is based on extensive research and comprises three steps. In the initial step, database research and experts' meetings served to identify 71 law firms and 240 lawyers, who have made a name for themselves in the field of Compliance. In a second round, these names were categorized by 27 experts from leading law firms. Ranking one's own firm or person was prohibited. In the third step, a jury evaluated the 42 firms, whose lawyers were classified above average, according to success, experience, specialization, and strength of the team. The 25 law firms with the most points made it into the ranking.
