Since its inception in 1983,
Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because
Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 32,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in
Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
Corporate Counsel magazine has called
Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
It is important to note that the lawyers listed in
Best Lawyers have no say in deciding which practice areas they are included in. They are voted into practice areas entirely as a result of the votes they receive from their peers. The subspecialties listed are based on information from a variety of sources.
Winthrop & Weinstine is top-listed in Minneapolis and Minnesota in Administrative/Regulatory Law, Arbitration, Banking and Finance Law, Government Relations Practice, and Municipal Law, based on the number of attorneys listed.
