Press Releases

SEATTLE and NEW YORK (August 17, 2023)—Perkins Coie is proud to announce that 388 of its lawyers were recognized by Best Lawyers® for 2024. A total of 275 lawyers were selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and 113 lawyers were added for inclusion in the 2024 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as an important guide to legal excellence. The 30th edition of The Best Lawyers in America® (2024) includes lawyers in practice areas covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and inclusion in this year’s publication is based on more than 5.5 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes lawyers who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in the United States.

Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey and lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
