Our goal has been to publish a meaningful and credible Legal Elite list--a list that Utah's business leaders can look to as a reliable directory of the state's top lawyers.

This year, Utah Business' editorial team went to great efforts to improve and enhance the Legal Elite list. We began by soliciting feedback from various senior attorneys throughout the state. We wanted to know: What are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? We listened and put their feedback to work. The two major changes we enacted are:

* Each lawyer on the list must receive a minimum of 10 votes from their peers.

* Lawyers practicing 10 years or less will be listed as "Up and Coming."

In September 2009, more than 5,000 ballots were mailed to state Bar members, asking them to vote for peers whom they deem to be Utah's best lawyers. Bar members were encouraged to vote for lawyers whose work they have observed firsthand to be above and beyond, and whose services they would recommend to others.

Lawyers were permitted to vote for up to 10 lawyers: five from within their firms, five from outside their firms. Self-voting was not allowed. Votes were tallied and the list was further vetted by a blue ribbon panel of judges. The judging panel included a collection of senior attorneys covering practice areas and bringing a wealth of knowledge regarding Utah's legal community to the table.

Utah Business received thousands of responses, and the resulting top vote-getters are alphabetized within the areas of specialty listed. We are proud to present the 2010 Utah Legal Elite.
