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.
Every October, more than 200,000 nomination forms are distributed 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.

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.
