Each relevant firm nominated for an available position is screened by the GLE research department – they look into the individual lawyer, the firm as a whole, its affiliations, clients and past transactional / case history. Successful applications are then passed onto the Nominations Panel. The Panel is comprised of a pool of leading figures in the international legal community including the directors of a number of global law networks / alliances, in-house council for a variety of top companies and the heads of a multitude of bar associations. The firm and relevant partner is then contacted and given the opportunity to be profiled on GLE as a recommended adviser.
