Our services

Backed by our collective 35 years+ experience as editors at Chambers & Partners, we are able to apply our unique experience and knowledge to undertaking a deep-dive into your submission process and ranking performance, across all of the major legal directories.

How effective have your previous submissions been? Why has one of your most impressive practice groups or leading lawyers been underperforming in the rankings? How helpful was your selection of references/referees in previous submissions?

Let us make a forensic analysis of your most recent submissions and we will provide you with a critical appraisal of where you are hitting the mark and where it is being missed (or overlooked), giving you the intelligence needed to adjust your strategy accordingly.

With a team comprising eight former Chambers editors - many of whom also have in-house law firm experience - we are able to offer unique perspectives on the most effective strategies for crafting the strongest submissions, with the complementary understanding of our client’s internal processes and marketing structures.

How should you present the work that your team has done in order to maximise your submission? Which of your contacts would make the best references/referees? What information are the directories looking for? How should we go about collecting all of the submission information needed?

Applying our unsurpassed experience to analysing the good, the bad and the ugly of the submissions process, we help you devise the best strategy for putting together the strongest submissions possible.

Once we have agreed a strategy with you, then begins the hard part: gathering and preparing all the necessary submission materials in a timely fashion. We are able to take on the heavy lifting to ensure that this is done smoothly, effectively, and with minimal pain!

Helped by our team members’ immense experience - including our team members’ years working in-house at law firms - we are extremely skilled in working seamlessly alongside you and/or your marketing/business development staff to efficiently and effectively project-manage the entire process, account for any contingency along the way, and keep you fully in the loop at all times.

Collecting the sheer amount of information that the legal directories ask for - while at the same time making sure that this information is the strongest possible - is no small task. Let us make it easier on you.

We can point to 100 years’ experience of writing and editing business law copy, so if you need us to step onboard and handle the writing of the submission itself, we can absolutely do this.

Our team members are able to produce the best and most effective copy in order for your submissions to have the best impact.

Your submission is finished and you're almost ready to take it to market, but will it have the impact you hope for?

For teams who prefer to handle the construction process in-house, we can provide the perfect option - a critical appraisal of your materials, and a frank opinion as to whether there are any opportunities for the kind of fine-tuning that may lead to very real ranking improvements.

In the increasingly competitive directories space, your approach to referee management continues to assume ever greater importance. As more and more firms focus on this area of their submissions, are you keeping pace with the rest?

Our experience working at Chambers means that we have an up-to-date understanding of the directories’ policies regarding referees (policies which some of our team members helped put in place), including the use of Chambers’ new Referee Management Tool.

Armed with this inside knowledge, we can make this crucial part of the submission process really work for you.

Are you and your team lost in the forest that is the legal directory submissions process? Let our unmatched senior experience help you through it.

From best practice seminars to bespoke, focused workshops for your teams, we offer a range of training solutions that aim to simplify the directories process for your partners and marketing teams.
