The Real Estate Lawyers: The premier independent guide to leading real estate attorneys across the United States
Each year we select just one leading real estate attorney in each state to appear in the directory. Our in-depth nomination, research and selection process is completely independent.
More than 200,000 nomination forms are distributed each year to business directors, in-house counsel and lawyers operating in the real estate sector nationwide. A shortlist for each state is formed based on the results of the nominations and our own independent research. The team then assesses the shortlisted lawyers based on 8 key performance indicators, before a final selection is made for each state.
To assist potential clients, we provide a detailed profile of each lawyer in the guide, highlighting their expertise and experience, an overview of their firm, its real estate practice and full contact information.
