The research methodology and approach for this report, according to the Executive Summary prepared by BTI Consulting Group, is as follows:

BTI’s analysis measures top-of-mind recognition of nearly 400 law firms based on unbiased, direct feedback from more than 500 individual interviews with in-house counsel at the world’s largest organizations. During the course of one-on-one in-depth interviews conducted between January 2011 and September 2012, BTI probed clients as to which law firms they associate with the 9 distinct characteristics driving the selection, consideration and hire of new law firms.

Each and every law firm included in The BTI Brand Elite: Client Perceptions of the Best-Branded Law Firms 2013 is the direct result of a specific unprompted client citation. We did not present clients with any law firms, by name, for the purpose of this analysis.
