Fortune Magazine and ALM Team up with LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell to Publish "Top Ranked Law Firms" Report
Rankings Based on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
November 3, 2011 - NEW YORK - LexisNexis (www.lexisnexis.com),
a leading provider of content and technology solutions, today announced
an agreement with Fortune Magazine and ALM Media Properties to help
them compile and publish a "Top Ranked Law Firms" special report to
appear in Fortune's December 26 "Investor's Guide" issue. The list of
firms recognized in the report will also be featured on CNNMoney.com,
law.com and martindale.com®.
To create this list of Top Ranked Law Firms, LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® tapped its comprehensive database of Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review RatingsTM to identify U.S. firms with 21 or more attorneys in which at least 1 in 3 of their lawyers achieved the AV® PreeminentTM peer review rating - the highest peer review rating available.
"Thousands of people use the Martindale-Hubbell® Legal
Network every day to find local attorneys, confirm their credentials and
select firms that provide services for their personal and professional
legal needs," said David Palmieri, Vice President and Managing Director
of Marketing and Consumer Solutions at LexisNexis. "We're excited to
work with Fortune to help them compile their list of 'Top Ranked Law
Firms,' and we're delighted to help bring greater exposure to firms
whose lawyers have been deemed by their peers to be among the best in
the country."
"We're very happy to have teamed with LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell
and ALM to present the 'Top Ranked Law Firms' section in Fortune
magazine. Fortune reaches more than 4.4 million business decisions
makers, and this program will identify the leading legal counsel
available to help successful businesses address their legal needs," said
Newell Thompson, Executive Director, Time Inc. Custom Content.
Fortune partnered with ALM, the leading provider of news and
information to the U.S. legal industry, to co-produce the special
section in the magazine and market it to advertisers in the industry.
Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings are driven by the confidential
opinions of lawyers and members of the judiciary who receive
invitations from LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell to provide reviews of
lawyers of whom they have professional knowledge. As the highest rating
available, an AV Preeminent Peer Review certification mark is a
significant accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's
peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
Peer Review rated lawyers are not required to have a paid listing on
Lawyers.comSM or martindale.com®.
