ALM is pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the 2020 Elite Trial Lawyers. While the categories are very similar to past years, 2020 marks the official launch of a strategic partnership between ALM and The National Trial Lawyers. The National Trial Lawyers (NTL) is a membership organization of civil plaintiffs and criminal defense attorneys, offering education and networking as well as recognition programs for the top lawyers in the plaintiff and criminal defense bar across the country.
Our new 2020 partnership with NTL will allow ALM to expand its reach to new organizations and geographies. Our Elite Trial Lawyers awards will maintain the same prestige as they’ve always had, spotlighting industry-leading plaintiffs lawyers and firms.
In 2020, the Elite Trial Lawyers awards ceremony will be held as part of the NTL Trial Lawyers Summit. The conference, which will be held on January 20-22 at Loews in Miami Beach, was founded in 2012 to share new methods for enhancing courtroom skills as well as tools to support the management and marketing of member law firms. ETL will be held on January 20 during the Trial Lawyers Summit to help participants and NTL members network and benefit from both programs.
ALM’s Elite Trial Lawyers has recognized U.S. based law firms that have performed exemplary and cutting-edge work on behalf of plaintiffs since 2015. The 2020 program seeks nominations in the following areas of law:
| Age Discrimination |
| Antitrust |

| Business Torts |
