Corporate Board Member/FTI Consulting surveyed directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies listed with NYSE, NASDAQ, or American Stock Exchange. Respondents were asked to select the five local law firms, from the list provided or as a write-in, they would most likely select to aid their companies on a broad range of corporate legal issues.

"Doing well in our survey has become a singular badge of honor, for the very reason that it doesn't come from the law firm's peers," said William S. Rukeyser, editorial director of Corporate Board Member. "It's an accolade from their customers-the directors, executives and general counsel who hire them, pay their bills, and thrive or suffer from their advice."
