Vinson & Elkins Listed in 2024 Global Investigations Review 30

Awards & Rankings


Vinson & Elkins is listed in the 2024 Global Investigations Review (GIR) 30, an independent guide to the world’s best firms for international investigations.

GIR 100 has listed the firm every year dating back to the inaugural guide in 2015, but this year sees Vinson & Elkins making its debut inside of the prestigious Top 30.

In its analysis of the firm, GIR individually recognized Mike Dry, Palmina Fava, Rebecca Fike, James Leader, James McGovern, Ron Tenpas, Zachary Terwilliger, and Fry Wernick.

According to Law Business Research, publisher of the guide, The GIR 30 is predominantly formed by information provided by firms in their submissions. Their researchers consider the investigations, resolutions and related trials a firm has worked on during the research period. They also consider the relevant partners, their former government experience, peer review research by sister publication Lexology Index, as well as feedback from clients.
