This
fall
we
introduced
our
list
of
the
Most
Desirable
Law
Firms,
highlighting
the
law
firms
that
attorneys
most
want
to
work
for.
Now,
we
are
pleased
to
release
our
annual
ranking
of
the
Top
Outside
Counsel,
featuring
the
firms
that
clients
depend
on
most.
Every
year
since
2018,
Above
the
Law
has
published
a
list
of
the
top
law
firms
in
the
country,
based
on
the
insights
of
those
who
know
best
—
the
in-house
attorneys
who
hire
them.
This
year,
approximately
550
in-house
lawyers
shared
their
evaluations
of
the
law
firms
their
organizations
work
with.
The
premise
of
our
survey
is
simple
and
straightforward.
We
asked
two
questions:
1)
Which
law
firms
does
your
company
engage
for
legal
services?
and
2)
Please
indicate
the
highest
level
legal
work
for
which
your
company
will
engage
the
particular
firm(s).
The
levels
of
work
were
defined
along
a
four-point
scale:
-
Cost-efficient,
bulk
tasks -
Routine
matters -
High-value,
complex
matters -
“Bet-the-company”
matters
The
ratings
for
each
firm
were
averaged
and
the
law
firms
with
the
highest
average
scores
made
it
into
our
list
of
the
Top
Outside
Counsel.
