How can we help you?






Legal PR/Reputation ManagementLegal DirectoriesSocial mediaBids and tenders

Legal directories

Whether you’re a UK or international law firm, our legal directories consultants have the experience to provide tailored support to meet your needs.

Successful legal directory rankings provide firms with independent, globally recognised market validation, helping secure valuable profile in the crowded legal market.

But being part of the process puts significant pressure on business support teams and lawyers, whether you’re from a magic-circle firm or a boutique practice.

Our legal directories team

Our expert legal directories team has a global reputation for delivering excellent results.

The team includes qualified lawyers, the former Head of Proposals and Directories for a top-50 UK law firm, Head of Marketing of the UK’s largest litigation firm and Senior Editor of a range of legal journals and publications.

They bring experience from all sides of the directories process.

Our white papers

In October 2018, we published our second directories white paper ‘Legal directories: are they keeping pace in a connected world?’.

We analysed views from lawyers and business development professionals from around the world, and conducted in-depth interviews with GCs and firms of all sizes.

It is clear that the directories, particularly Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, closely followed by IFLR1000 and Who’s Who Legal, are a credible source of information used by GCs and clients entering new jurisdictions and by firms to bolster marketing material and tenders.
