In this guide, you will find more than 30 interviews with attorneys who are at the top of their fields at some of the most prestigious law firms in the country. We asked these partners and associates all about their specific practice areas -- the types of clients they represent, the best and worst aspects of working in their chosen fields, and what misconceptions exist about their specialties. We invited the top firms in each practice area, as rated by nearly 17,000 associates from across the country in our 2014 Vault Associate Survey, to participate in this guide. Each year, Vault ranks law firms in a variety of practice areas based on the perceptions of associates practicing in those areas. We invited the top ten firms in each category to participate in Practice Perspectives. -- Publisher information.
