Benefits for you

Comprehensive Support

We will drive and undertake the entire submission process and create every document you’ll need, all you must do is press “submit”.

We start by analysing your past submissions to identify areas of improvement. We help you select your matters, write and proofread all the sections in the submission form, select and prepare your referee list, and coach your team for the interview with the directory. We manage all communication with your team and with the directories.

Strategic Review

Your would like to complete your legal directories submissions forms in-house but would benefit from an fresh pair of eyes to make sure your submission is spot on.

We review your past and current submission forms and your referee list to make sure everything ties in together.

Audit and Training

We audit and evaluate your internal process and output of your submission forms. You are familiar handling submissions in-house but would benefit from an external consultant with experience in legal directories to evaluate its submission process and make recommendations as to how the firm can improve its process and in turn its legal ranking position.

We bring a fresh and independent perspective, as well as the right tools and methodologies, to improve the firm’s position in the legal rankings.
