Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business

EXCELLENCE IN PRACTICESuper Lawyers provides opportunities to showcase your accomplishments in print and online.

WHAT IS SUPER LAWYERS?Super Lawyers recognizes no more than 5 percent of attorneys in each state from more than 70 practice areas who have achieved a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Being named to this respected and objectively created list is an honor and can result in new clients or referrals through marketing opportunities. Super Lawyers magazine features the list and profiles of selected attorneys and is distributed to attorneys in the state or region and the ABA-approved law school libraries. Super Lawyers is also published as a special section in leading city and regional magazines across the country.

SUPER LAWYERS SELECTION PROCESS

The transparent, multiphase process includes the following steps: A statewide survey of lawyers Independent research to identify outstanding lawyers Evaluation of candidates based on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement A blue ribbon panel review by practice area and state A discipline check of each candidate

WHY ADVERTISING WORKSYou reach the people you need to reach. State and regional editions of Super Lawyers magazines reach virtually every lawyer in the country. More than 500,000 people come to superlawyers.com each month to find a lawyer.

Third-party recognition creates the perfect marketing environment. The beauty of marketing in Super Lawyers is its context. The attorneys that readers see are the most highly regarded in their profession.

Advertising gives you leverage. As a lawyer, you need to be seen both in print and online: Print advertising gives you longevity, while online advertising gives potential clients immediate access to you.

A picture is worth a thousand words—that’s why the profiles work. Notice and recall rates are highest with ads that have pictures. We designed the profiles with this principle in mind.

Being listed is a great honor, but with an ad you stand out. Advertising raises visibility. Readers will know you’ve been selected without having to search the list. It helps create top-of-the-mind awareness and when potential clients seek attorneys on major search engines, superlawyers.com is there.

The best branding you can do. Law firms spend huge amounts building “image” and “brand.” A Super Lawyers profile, on the other hand, educates the marketplace about your background, experience and accomplishments. By placing the focus on you and your practice, Super Lawyers makes you the brand.

Why are Super Lawyers Platinumand Standard Profiles an important marketing tool?

“To say the least, I’m very happy with the response I received from my profile in Super Lawyers. As a result of my profile I received over two dozen “potential client” calls; 14 of those people became new clients. In addition to new business, almost half of my current clients saw my Super Lawyers profile.”— Mic Puklich, Neaton & Puklich, PLLP, Chanhassen, MN

“…Much of the younger generation likes the appeal of the Web. They look on the com puter for everything. It stands to reason, if they’re looking for an attorney they will search the Internet. If you know how people get to you, you want to maximize those marketing avenues.”— Stacy D. Phillips, Phillips, Lerner, Lauzon & Jamra, L.L.P., Los Angeles, CA
