We are now accepting submissions for our first rankings-related feature of the year: The ALB 2013 Intellectual Property Rankings.

The IP rankings will be published in our May 2013 issue.

THE 2013 ALB IP RANKINGS
 
ALB will take a comprehensive and rigorous approach to identifying the top firms in the region. Our editorial team will speak to a wide range of lawyers and their clients. All interviews will be off-the-record, confidential and conducted entirely for research purposes. The linked document details our methodology.

Please download the submission form, methodology, and client template here.

ALB does not require a firm to submit in order to be ranked. A submission is strongly encouraged as it gives us a comprehensive overview of your practice, but firms that do not submit may also be considered for a ranking.

In determining whether or not to consider any firm that does not submit, ALB will combine market and client feedback with our own editorial judgment.
