Agood leadership team is helpful, but often the added perspective of outside legal counsel is needed to make sure all

considerations are weighed. Important personal matters, too, may require the insights of a good lawyer, one who spe-cializes in exactly the kind of situation you’re facing.

As business and personal needs change, the type of attorney you need also fl uctuates. The lawyer who helped fi nalize last year’s merger is probably not the right one to deal with this year’s labor issues.

Finding just the right lawyer involves several steps, and one of them should be looking into how he or she stacks up on

various national ranking tools. For the eighth year in a row,

Columbus CEO is proud to publish a list of central Ohio’s Top Lawyers, as determined by Seattle-based AVVO. This is the second year we have asked AVVO to share its top-ranked local lawyers.

AVVO uses a proprietary algorithm to rate lawyers on a 10-point scale that takes into account factors including peer endorsements, experience, educa-tion, training, speaking, publishing and awards. It is a dynamic rating that is continuously updated with new infor-mation from attorneys and their peers as well as licensing and disciplinary authorities.

Our list includes lawyers ranked

10 to 7.5 by AVVO. But just as our information-fueled world is constantly changing, these rankings also change, so the best source for current AVVO ratings is its website, AVVO.com. We list Top Lawyers alphabetically by law fi rm name and note one or two practice specializations per attorney. See AVVO online to search for lawyers by all their practice specialties.

Columbus is fortunate to have hun-dreds of good lawyers and many great local law fi rms ready to tackle all your business and personal needs. Along with listing our Top Lawyers, this issue profi les six fi rms with great histories of serving the business community. Congratulations to all of this year’s Top Lawyers!

We congratulate the lawyers who appear on this list. They represent a wealth of immense legal talent in central Ohio—ready to address every legal need. —Mary Yost, Editor
