Legal Communications Services

For global and local law firms alike

Legal directories processes can be mystifying. We help law firms to optimise their directories and awards rankings participation. We have more than 50 years’ experience of working in various specialist roles pertaining to directories, including as independent expert consultants, as senior editors at leading legal directories, and in directories or business development roles at international law firms. We bring to bear expert knowledge in order to save our clients time, headaches and – ultimately – money, and to fine-tune the arguments for better rankings. We can help you pick through which products to participate in and which opportunities to ignore. We can help draft submissions from scratch or improve the messaging and substantive content of existing documents, in addition to providing guidance on the crucial referee processes employed by the majority of serious directories.
