The Legal 500 Awards

The Legal 500 Awards > United States awards

The Legal 500 United States Awards 2015 is a new concept in recognizing and rewarding the best in-house and private practice teams and individuals over the past 12 months. There are no submissions, or black tie dinners that cost thousands of dollars to attend - the awards are handed to the elite legal practitioners, based on the most comprehensive research into the US legal market. Over 50,000 interviews were conducted to ascertain the winners, who were invited to a free networking dinner in New York to celebrate with their peers.
