Best Lawyers names top attorneys in New Zealand

UNITED STATES, 3 March 2017 -- Best Lawyers™, the oldest and most respected guide to the legal profession, announced the Ninth Edition of The Best Lawyers in New Zealand on 3 March 2017.

Attorneys named to The Best Lawyers in New Zealand were recognized by their peers in the legal industry for their professional excellence in 57 practice areas. In addition, we are pleased to recognize the 2018 "Lawyer of the Year" recipients. "Lawyer of the Year" honorees receive this award based on their extremely high overall feedback within specific practice areas and metropolitan regions.

"For more than a third of a century," says CEO Steven Naifeh, "Best Lawyers has been the gold standard of excellence in the legal profession." President Phil Greer adds, "We are extremely proud of that record and equally proud to acknowledge the accomplishments of these exceptional legal professionals."

The process begins when attorneys are nominated for consideration. They are divided by geographic regions and practice areas, and are evaluated by their peers on the basis of professional expertise. Those who receive high peer reviews undergo an authentication process to make sure they are currently practicing and in good standing. Only then can these top attorneys be included in Best Lawyers.

“Best Lawyers is devoted to recognizing excellence,” Naifeh said. “We're proud to acknowledge the accomplishments of these exceptional legal professionals.”
