Methodology

How the Power 100 is compiled

1. 1

   Rank reflects editorial judgment about influence, industry relationships, mass tort relevance, and networking value.

2. 2

   It is not a scientific popularity survey.

3. 3

   Small differences between adjacent ranks should not be treated as precise measurements.

4. 4

   Profiles draw from firm and company websites, public biographies, MTMP speaker materials, exhibitor lists, and selected historical records.

5. 5

   Historical torts and resolved matters may appear in profiles.

6. 6

   Leadership biographies are not a complete audit of current MDL appointment orders.

7. 7

   Private acquisition budgets and referral economics are not assumed.

8. 8

   Speaker listings indicate scheduled participation, not confirmed attendance.

9. 9

   Company exhibitor listings do not establish that a founder or executive attended.

10. 10

    Unverified information remains labeled.
