On December 18, 2025, Lexology published the 2026 edition of the Lexology 100: Data 2026 (formerly GDR 100), a global ranking that captures the capabilities, track record, and market reputation of the top 100 leading law firms in the field. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati has been ranked No. 13 overall among the “Global Elite,” a shortlist of the top 25 firms recognized for market-leading expertise. Wilson Sonsini also placed No. 2 for advisory work, No. 4 for investigations, and No. 10 for litigation.

The firm is widely recognized for its “institutional expertise,” deep bench of talent in the U.S., and the senior regulators and partners frequently called upon to “help guide EU data policy.” The guide spotlights Wilson Sonsini’s Brussels partners Cédric Burton and Laura De Boel and Of Counsel Laura Brodahl, along with Washington, D.C., partners Maneesha Mithal, Christopher Olsen, Jodi Daniel, and Demian Ahn. The team is commended for guiding "clients through the thicket of EU and U.S. rules” and for recent high-profile matters handled led by the Brussels and D.C. teams, including partners Libby Weingarten, Matthew Staples, Yann Padova, Tracy Shapiro, and Matt Macdonald.
