We are also the only ones to publish their web statistics. We have about 18.5 million page views per year. We believe this is much more than any competitor or any comparable legal website. We believe our traffic is 2.3 times higher than Chambers & Partners` website (source: semrush.com; ahrefs.com; similarweb.com) We encourage companies and teams to use recommended logos on their websites, email signatures and marketing materials and, where possible, cite www.legal500.com as a source. The logos may only be used by companies, groups and individuals recommended as part of our independent research in the editorial sections of The Legal 500. Please ensure that the arbitrators have given their consent. The Legal 500 Readership Research Project interviewed 2,536 CAs on this topic in legal500.com, at events such as the Association of Corporate Counsel Annual Meeting, and during our in-person interviews with internal services. The results are as follows: the task of the drafting is to research the legal market in practice; assigning rankings to business practices; and the accompanying editorial. There is no charge for an editorial submission. Our editorial staff is independent and we do not favour advertisers.

Law firms and ensembles are encouraged to provide The Legal 500 submissions and reviewers. For specific information on how you can submit information to us, please click on the jurisdiction/region relevant to your business/set. The opinions expressed in the editorial sections represent the opinions of the editors, without any legal liability or liability for errors or inaccuracies. Research for the editorial is based on the combined opinions of the many lawyers interviewed in each area of expertise, feedback from corporate clients, and analysis of transactions or contentious topics. It is important to note that the editorial is therefore a subjective overview based on systematic research. The recommendation tables are divided into groups: companies are listed by levels in order of priority and alphabetically within the levels. In addition, companies were sorted alphabetically by the company`s first name or initial (i.e. the last listed company in a group is just as highly recommended as the first listed company at this stage). Companies are encouraged to provide as many referees as possible per team and practice area.
This increases the amount of positive feedback we are likely to receive. Therefore, we recommend that you ensure that your law firm`s submission is as complete as possible and that your client reference lists contain as many references as possible. Our deadlines are set so that our research team can spend as much time as possible analyzing your submissions and collecting as much feedback as possible from the reviewers provided. Client research conducted for The Legal 500 consists of two main components and includes qualitative and quantitative analyses. Each year, we write to companies asking them to provide information about their areas of expertise and to ask for specific details about the work done in the previous year (some of which is confidential and not publicly available). This approach gives us a consistent level and standardized data quality, allowing us to compare legal service providers with greater accuracy and security. Interviews are based on a standard questionnaire. However, follow-up questions and more comprehensive conversations about specific law firms and key issues that influence the purchase of legal services are indeed the norm. This is partly due to the fact that the interviews are conducted by experienced journalists and researchers with a high level of market knowledge. Not all interviews are assignable. Throughout the year, we also receive many unsolicited comments and recommendations from customers. While we make every effort to review all documents sent to us, late submissions may not be reviewed in detail by our research team, and some or all reviewers provided after our deadlines may not be contacted for comment.
Banners, press releases, thought leadership articles, and companies in the spotlight are additional ways to differentiate your business from its competitors and give your business another presence on www.legal500.com We send an email to customer testimonials asking for their opinion on strengths, weaknesses, innovations, individuals and the legal market in general. All comments and reactions to customer testimonials are made on a confidential and non-transferable basis. An arbitrator may be a client, an importer or occupational physician, or a consultant. To add one or more references, prepare a new list of customer references (using the default Excel template). Use the Legal 500 portal to download this file. Yes. You can add one or more references to your customer reference list if you send us an email before the submission deadline. After that date, it may be too late. The editorial and commercial aspects work independently. Some companies pay for profiles, but are not recommended in the editorial.
Others are recommended but choose not to create profiles. We take data security very seriously and are not willing to accept confidential or third-party information (such as law firm filings and client reference lists) via email.

Note: This only applies if duplicates were sent to us before the submission deadline. Across The Legal 500 portfolio, there are a number of opportunities available to maximize your exposure and grow your business globally. If an individual is appointed as a client reference by multiple firms and/or practice areas, the email from us will contain multiple links (allowing them to comment on all of those firms and practice areas). This can reduce the chances of a response, but we do it to avoid customer fatigue (i.e.
customers who receive too many emails), and that`s why we always advise companies to use a wide range of customer references. In case of factual errors, please contact us.

Customers should be aware that their comments will not be returned to the Company and that their anonymity will be preserved. We talk to many companies, but we can`t talk to all companies. In practice, it is the law firm`s submissions and the list of client respondents that are important to our researchers – who usually provide them with the most important background information they need. If they need to talk to just one lawyer, they send an email. Yes. We encourage companies and ensembles to use recommended logos on their websites, electronic signatures, and marketing materials. We`ll send you an email just before sending emails to your customer references. As a rule, we try to inform 5 days in advance. This way, you can contact them to encourage them to respond to our emails.
In some jurisdictions, large clients choose a “panel” of law firms to act on their behalf. If you are part of a “panel”, please let us know. No. However, the size of the team, as well as its strength and depth, are among the factors that the editorial researcher will take into account when evaluating a practice against its competitors. Others include the quality of the work handled, the caliber of the clients, the feedback of the arbitrators, and the reputation of the individual practitioners.
