Legal 500 "US Elite" aims to highlight key lawyers operating at regional players across business centers in the United States. Notably, "US Elite" seeks to recognize key U.S. lawyers outside global firms, opting to focus on those at regional powerhouses that may not receive comparable recognition in other rankings. "US Elite" emphasizes lawyers who are handling work at the top of the legal market in their respective cities, states, or regions. The ranking is distinct from the main Legal 500 U.S. guide, with lawyers ranked by tier as individuals rather than as teams.
