Lawyers were not allowed to nominate themselves or colleagues practicing at the same firm, and the evaluation process is free of charge.
A-List Visionaries are described as: "seasoned legal luminaries who have distinguished themselves both within and beyond their firms. In key management positions of founders, managing partners or heads of practice areas, they excel in their profession and develop sharp industry insight to steer their firms' strategic growth."
