Survey Methodology
Sometimes all you care about is how a firm stacks up against its peer firms in a particular region of the country. That’s where our regional rankings come in. Each regional ranking is based on ratings from associates who actually work in that region and who were asked to rate firms based on local prestige. This year’s regional rankings include the following locations: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, Mountain States, New York, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, the South Atlantic, Southern California, Texas, and Washington, DC.
