Best Lawyers employs a rigorous peer-review process for its annual recognitions. Lawyers are nominated and evaluated by other legal professionals in the same geographic and practice areas, who assess candidates based on their knowledge of the law, professional conduct, and reputation among peers. The Ones to Watch recognition highlights lawyers who have demonstrated professional excellence early in their careers, making Lauren Harper's inclusion particularly noteworthy.

The significance of these recognitions extends beyond the firm itself.
