Law360's 2011 Practice Groups Of The Year

01 January 2012

Law360 is pleased to announce the winners of its 2011 Practice Groups of the Year series.

In November, Law360 solicited submissions from more than 500 law firms for the series. The more than 550 submissions received were reviewed by a committee of Law360 editors. Winners were selected based on the significance of the litigation wins or deals worked on; the size and complexity of the litigation wins or deals worked on; and the number of significant, large or complex deals the firms worked on or lawsuits the firm had wins in. Only accomplishments from Dec. 1, 2010, to Dec. 1, 2011, were considered.

Profiles of the winning firms will run on Law360 beginning Jan. 4.
