ThompsonMcMullan is proud to share that we have once again been ranked as a Best Law Firm for the 2027 year by Best Law Firms®. National and regional rankings are based on an in-depth evaluation process that includes references from both clients and industry professionals, peer review from leading attorneys, industry leader interviews, and review of additional firm-specific information provided in individual law firm submissions. A firm can only be recognized as a Best Law Firm in a practice area if it already has at least one lawyer who is currently recognized by The Best Lawyers in America ® and regional jurisdiction ranked by Best Law Firms are eligible to receive a firm ranking in that practice area and jurisdiction. Firms are ranked both nationally and regionally by practice area, and then broken down into tiers by comparing them across the two jurisdictions in order to categorize. The first tier in each regional area includes those firms that score within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firms; the second tier, those firms that score within a certain percentage of the next highest scoring firms and so on. National rankings are based on regional awards as well as on the number of offices each firm has and on the level of legal activity in each jurisdiction.
