Proudly continuing our coverage from the 2025 recognitions, the 2026 editions of The Best Lawyers awards in Chile, Colombia and Puerto Rico highlight top legal professionals across these countries. Chile and Colombia mark their 16th editions, while Puerto Rico reaches its 13th.
These recognitions are part of a long-standing program based on rigorous peer review and verified data. Inclusion remains rare, with only a small fraction of candidates awarded. These honors reinforce professional credibility across Latin America and the Caribbean.
Measuring Legal Excellence Across the Two Regions
These editions are based on more than 100,000 peer evaluations across all three countries. Chile contributed the largest share, followed by Colombia and Puerto Rico. This growing body of peer feedback, now exceeding half a million cumulative evaluations, reflects a broad and sustained commitment to professional excellence throughout the jurisdictions.
All recognitions follow Best Lawyers’ Purely Peer Review methodology. Evaluations are submitted confidentially by recognized peers in the same practice area and jurisdiction, ensuring fairness across practice areas and providing a trusted measure of expertise. Best Lawyers research staff also verifies that honorees are in good standing.
