The annual list, published by International Financial Law Review, ranks the world’s leading financial and corporate law firms and lawyers. Law firm rankings and lawyer ratings are based on three key criteria: transactional evidence, client feedback and peer feedback. IFLR1000 assesses transactions by their legal innovation or sophistication, the challenges they navigated and their impact on the market.
