Legal directory strategy

Look towards the entirety of your legal directory rankings journey, including your short- and long-term goals and how you plan on achieving them. Legal directory submissions are a time- and resource-heavy process, so plan ahead to avoid any pitfalls. We offer our insights into how to navigate this process, through planning and project management.

Legal directory submissions

The legal directory submission document is an opportunity to emphasise the significance of your firm and Partners’ work and achievements. Although the various directories, such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, have varying submissions criteria, they are united by their valuing of high-quality and innovative work. Learn how to amplify the value of your work highlights and more.

Celebrating successful legal directory rankings

The celebration and communication of successful legal directory rankings is just as important as the other aspects of the process. But don’t be disheartened by an unsuccessful submission either. Whatever the outcome, understand how to maximise your rankings and improve for the next research cycle. Which, inevitably, is just around the corner.
