ILO Client Choice Awards recognise since 2005 those law firms and partners around the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service. The criteria for the awards focus on an ability to add real value to clients' businesses above and beyond the other law firms in the market. Firms and partners were assessed on the following criteria: quality of legal advice, value for money, commercial awareness, effective communication, billing transparency, tailored fee structures, response time, sharing of expertise, and use of technology.

The 2014 Client Choice Awards edition distinguishes 450 lawyers in 73 jurisdictions. The complete list of winners is available in the ILO Client Choice Guide.
