Die Best Lawyers-Rankings, die in Deutschland  in Kooperation mit dem Handelsblatt, Deutschland beste Anwälte, durchgeführt werden, basieren auf einem Peer Review:

"Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Our methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.

Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational, and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services. Our belief has always been that the quality of a peer review survey is directly related to the quality of the voters."
