THE 2011 ATTORNEYS WHO MATTER represent the best and brightest in the legal field. The list consists of attorneys in all areas of practice, from federal agencies to leading in-house counsel to the top ethics and compliance officers of major companies. The attorneys have all risen to the top from a combination of their expertise, peer or client endorsements and high-profile cases (as well as the number of those cases successfully litigated). They are also the attorneys with the best public service, legal community engagement and academic involvement. It doesn’t hurt that they all have received plenty of awards and recognition, too.

The in-house counsel and ethics and compliance officers listed on Ethisphere’s 2011 ATTORNEYS WHO MATTER all help lead their companies to the top of the ethics and compliance world. Many have ensured that their companies were recognized as Ethisphere’s 2011 WORLD’S MOST ETHICAL COMPANIES. The outside counsel on the list are those who are best prepared to handle any issue arising around their particular specialty or subject matter expertise, and are the individuals that you are best off calling when seeking advice in a particular subject matter.

Below you’ll find the list of 2011’S ATTORNEYS WHO MATTER, along with the methodology for selecting the top attorneys as well as exclusive Q&A’s with a select group of those that made the list.
