The Early Bird Membership is a limited-time, invitation-only opportunity for law firms that have been nominated based on their exceptional reputation and achievements. It allows firms to secure their place among the Best Law Firms in the world, with access to discounted rates and premium benefits. However, only a select number of firms that successfully pass our rigorous evaluations and assessments will be chosen as Early Bird Members. This ensures that only the most exceptional law firms earn the distinction of joining this elite group.

No, submitting your application for Early Bird Membership is completely free. The evaluation and onboarding processes are also free of charge. Payment is required only after your firm is selected and its information is added to our platform.

Our selection process identifies the Best Law Firms based on client satisfaction, peer recognition, and measurable success in legal specialties. 

We evaluate firms on client feedback, peer recognition, and measurable results.

For a detailed overview, visit our Methodology  page, where you can learn more about the high standards each firm must meet to be included on our list.

If your firm is selected, you will receive confirmation of your membership tier (Gold or Platinum) and the next steps to finalize your onboarding process. A dedicated specialist will work with your firm to complete your profile and ensure it’s live on the platform.

Yes! Early Bird Members can lock in exclusive discounted pricing for up to 10 years. Platinum Members enjoy the added benefit of securing their discounted rate for future extensions, providing long-term value and stability.

The final date for completing all submissions, evaluations, and onboarding is March 31, 2025. This ensures that all selected Early Bird Members are prepared and live on the platform before its official launch on Monday, April 7, 2025. Applications not completed by this deadline will no longer qualify for Early Bird benefits.

While Gold and Platinum Early Bird Members secure their membership for 5 or 10 years with a one-time fee, Best100LawFirms.com reserves the right to terminate a membership if the law firm’s reputation is significantly questioned, damaged, or if the firm fails to meet the high standards required to remain part of our exclusive network.

In such cases, any unused portion of the membership fee will be refunded based on the remaining months of membership. For example, if a firm with a 5-year (60-month) Gold Membership is removed after 2 years and 4 months (27 months), the firm will be refunded the equivalent of 33 unused months (60 – 27 = 33 months).

This ensures that Best100LawFirms.com maintains its commitment to excellence and provides clients with the highest level of trust and quality.
