# Methodology

Editorial shortlist, not a quality ranking. Distinguish independent rankings from firm-published information. Cite sources and preserve source years. Source check date is not ranking edition year.

The initial selection covers 16 practice areas, four or five firms per area, using Legal 500, Chambers and Duns 100 independent practice rankings and official firm sources. Not exhaustive. No invented scores or reviews. Ranking years are null when not explicit. Verified 2026-11-11. LegalIndex is independent of the Israel Bar. Individual lawyer search is a separate live-source service.
