About New York Law Journal Survey

Published since 2010, the Best of New York Law Journal feature is celebrating its eighth year of providing the New York legal community the opportunity to acknowledge who they believe to be the best providers of products and services to their market. This year, the results of the survey were released on September 25, 2017.

The Best of New York Law Journal’s 2017 ballot consisted of more than 95 categories ranging from technology to insurance to education, recruiting and staffing.

Voters had the option of selecting firms listed on the ballot or writing in their favorite firm, if not listed. Once voting was closed, the New York Law Journal team verified that all those who cast votes were lawyers or legal professionals. Votes from anyone who could not be verified as lawyers or legal professionals were discounted, as were votes from competing vendor firms.
