Boasting a personalized approach and specialized practices, these firms are going toe-to-toe with much larger rivals, and winning clients in the process. In this inaugural list, ALB spotlights 10 such successful firms that are set for even bigger things. The list is in alphabetical order.

- These are firms that are small but are already making waves, and either challenging (or with the potential to challenge) much larger law firms for their share of the work.
- While submissions are not absolutely necessary—we will combine our stock of industry knowledge with news reports, the general buzz around some firms and publicly available information to select some of the firms on the list—firms are still welcome to send in submissions for consideration.
- Only firms with 10 partners or fewer will be considered.
