Top Lawyer Match

Methodology

Selected

An annual recognition, earned under a published methodology.

What Selected is

Selected is the one recognition Top Lawyer Match awards. It is given each year, and it always carries the year it was awarded — a Selected mark without a year is not one of ours.

Selection is not available for purchase.

Paying for an Enhanced Profile or a sponsored listing does not grant Selected or make it more likely.

The methodology

The full methodology — who is considered, what is assessed and how decisions are made — will be published here before the first cycle. Until it is, we are not describing criteria that haven’t been finalised.

Meanwhile

Selected never changes the order you see lawyers in. How that order is decided is explained in full on How matching works.

Payment never buys rank.

Sponsored listings are labelled and sit after every ranked result. No payment — for a listing or a profile — changes Match order or Selected status.
