Benchmark exclusively covers the litigation and disputes market in North America, covering the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This focuses the publication on litigation and disputes in North America, differentiating it from other legal directories covering a broader spectrum of legal services and geography. This allows it to provide a much more in-depth analysis of the litigation and disputes market. Benchmark is also editorially rather than statistically driven and strives to avoid being overly inclusive.
