The Legal 500 provides commentaries on law firms in over 90 countries worldwide and
considers itself a guide to \'the best of the best\' - the pre-eminent firms in the
world\'s strongest and most competitive legal markets. Their team of researchers
speaks to thousands of law firm commercial clients every year, and their law firm
recommendations are based on what those clients tell them. In addition, they
acquire as much information as possible about the client lists of major firms and
the transactions/deals they have been involved in to accurately report on each
firm. The firms are then ranked on this information by the editorial staff, and the
tables of recommendations are divided into groups: firms are listed in groups in
order of priority, and alphabetically within the groups. The Legal 500 US has
also recommended Thompson & Knight in the areas of Acquisition Finance, Credit and
Syndicated Transactions, and Mergers and Acquisitions - Central.
