THE WINNERS OF THE 2020 PRECEDENT SETTER AWARDS
AT A GLANCE, the best lawyers don’t have much in common. You can find them at firms of all sizes, working in a range of practice areas. Some are courtroom wizards; others offer quick-and-cheap advice to the small-business community. To excel in each domain requires a totally different skill set.
