August 19, 2021 – Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors announced that Partner William Brewer received recognition in the 28th edition of “The Best Lawyers in America.”
Brewer is recognized for professional excellence in the area of commercial litigation in New York and Dallas. Brewer has been recognized annually in this category since 2007. Best Lawyers is known as the oldest and most respected peer review publication in the legal profession. First published in 1983, Best Lawyers aims to reflect the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about their peers’ professional abilities within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
The recognition process begins with a nomination, followed by peer review, analysis of feedback, eligibility feedback, and then announcement of results. As part of the peer review voting stage, ballots are distributed to listed lawyers. Best Lawyers asks voters the question, “If you were unable to take a case yourself, how likely would you be to refer it to this nominee?” Nominees are then given a 1-5 rating, with space to leave comments.
As part of the eligibility check, the Best Lawyers editorial staff reviews votes and comments. Selected lawyers are checked to make sure they are in good standing with the ethics committee of their state bar.
