The Legal 500 provides commentaries on law firms in over 90 countries worldwide and considers itself a guide to 'the best of the best' – the pre-eminent firms in the world's strongest and most competitive legal markets. Their team of researchers speaks to thousands of law firm commercial clients every year, and their law firm recommendations are based on what those clients tell them. In addition, they acquire as much information as possible about the client lists of major firms and the transactions/deals they have been involved in to accurately report on each firm. The firms are then ranked on this information by the editorial staff, and the tables of recommendations are divided into groups: firms are listed in groups in order of priority, and alphabetically within the groups. The Legal 500 US has also recommended Thompson & Knight in the areas of Acquisition Finance, Credit and Syndicated Transactions, and Mergers and Acquisitions – Central.
