Reader Rankings
Dear Readers,
To compete and win in today’s legal market, you have to work hard and exercise
sound judgment. Based on your votes, the companies and products highlighted in
the following pages are excelling at keeping the industry moving forward and their
clients in the winning column.
Welcome to the 4th Annual Best of LegalTimes, a program designed to empower you,
members of the D.C. area law community, to cast your votes for the service providers
and law schools that have earned your respect as best in class.
The Best of LegalTimes, published by the sales and marketing arm of The National Law Journal, summarizes the
results of an online ballot that garnered nearly 1,500 reader votes. Over 500 businesses were listed on the
official ballot and nearly100 additional businesses received votes via the write-in option. In all, your combined
efforts helped us identify the top three vote-getters in 73 different business categories that span the spectrum of
legal products and services.
Readers were notified of the ballot through direct emails, print advertising, social media updates, and online
advertisements across ALM’s network of websites, including Law.com and NLJ.com. The ballot encompassed
the areas of Technology, Research, Litigation Consulting, Accounting, Banking, Insurance, Financial Services,
Litigation Support, Education, Law Firm Marketing & Communications, ADR & Mediation, and Recruiting &
Staffing. Where the emphasis was on perceived product attributes and benefits, we presented product-specific
voting options; where the categories focused on perceived vendor attributes, we presented corporate entities as
voting options.
Please note, we review and qualify all votes to ensure they were cast by legitimate end-users from the
Washington, D.C. area legal community--attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, law school students, etc. Any
votes cast outside of this qualified universe of potential voters were not counted in the final results.
Many thanks to all of you who took the time to vote!
Your collective opinions are reflected on the pages
that follow. If you do not see one of your favorite providers recognized, please be sure to vote next year and help
us build on the enthusiasm and participation in the annual Best of LegalTimes reader survey.
Warm Regards,
Tom Larranaga
