BTI Consulting recently released the BTI Brand Elite 2018: Client Perceptions of the Best-Branded Law Firms, which ranks the law firms with the best brand standing among general counsel and top legal decision makers. In the report, corporate counsel ranked McKool Smith in the top half of all firms recommended first to peers and colleagues for litigation counsel without prompting.
BTI Brand Elite 2018 is based solely on in-depth interviews with more than 686 corporate counsel at the world’s largest and most influential companies. BTI probed clients as to which law firms they associate with nine distinct characteristics driving the selection, consideration, and hire of new law firms. Each and every law firm included in BTI Brand Elite 2018: Client Perceptions of the Best-Branded Law Firms is the direct result of a specific unprompted client citation.
