Benchmark Litigation is the definitive guide to the world’s leading litigation firms and lawyers.
We provide law firm and lawyer rankings based on extensive interviews with litigators, dispute resolution specialists and their clients as well as analysis of the market’s most important cases and firm developments.
Benchmark Litigation is the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on dispute resolution. Since its inception in 2008, the Benchmark brand has grown dramatically and garnered industry-wide accolades as the definitive hub for in-depth analysis of the players shaping the dynamic practice of litigation. In keeping with Benchmark’s sharp rise in popularity, its team increasingly aims to respond to the demands of its audience.
The Europe guide officially launched in 2018, with a dedicated team based in London. The guide was reintroduced in late 2024 to continue exclusively covering the litigation and disputes markets. The brand aims to provide law firm and lawyer rankings on the market’s most important cases and firm developments across the region.
Research is conducted through extensive interviews with litigators, dispute resolution specialists and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. During these interviews, we examine recent casework and ask individual litigators to provide their professional opinions on peers and practitioners within their jurisdiction or practice area.
As an extension of our research, Benchmark Litigation Europe Awards are held annually and are based on the research submissions and casework provided.
