This research was conducted by the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI) /infosud.ru to gauge the reputability of leading law firms’ websites on the Russian market.
Independent lawyers, legal market PR experts and arbitration journalists were polled to compile the ranking.

RAPSI has also questioned some leading Russian law firms. After releasing the list of the “Top 100 Russian Law Firms by Media Coverage,” the number of companies taking part in the survey was expanded due to numerous requests on behalf of law firms. All the companies referred to in the ranking have functional websites.


RAPSI used a thematic citation index to develop the rating, showing the website’s degree of authority based on quality factors such as references from other websites.

RAPSI also used the Yandex Rank and Google Page Rank indexes, indicating a website's popularity in general.

RAPSI defined each website's score by multiplying these figures. The result was multiplied by three and rounded to the nearest whole number. Multiplication by 3 was used to make sure the minimum firm citation index was a whole number over zero.

RAPSI earlier employed a similar methodology to rank commercial courts. This proprietary ranking technique was highly praised by the courts, many of which decided to post the court ranking on their own websites.
