Chambers & Co – Improvement with submissions in law firm rankings / directories

What makes us special

Our service packages

Review and benchmark of your submission

  • If you prepare your submission yourself, we will provide you with suggestions for improvement.
  • We benchmark your submission against the best practices we have established since 2004 and provide you with a report for each legal field.
  • The report will show you how to improve your writing, helping ranking researchers to recognise and evaluate your work as effectively as possible.
  • The report will also offer strategic advice on how to improve your submission, enabling your practice group and law firm to demonstrate the desired strengths.
  • The report will provide this information for each matter and each non-matter section.

Texting of the entire submission

  • If you “only” want us to handle the texting of the submissions, this package is the right choice.​
  • We create submission texts that are specially optimized for ranking researchers.
  • We create texts for matter descriptions as well as for the non-matter texts of a submission such as "About our firm" etc
  • We also focus on strategic content. We prioritize your matters in a specific sequence in order to take into account the strategic goals of the practice group and the law firm.
  • We also take into account your preferred prioritization of selected partners.
  • The texts are created by our native speakers from UK/US and Germany.

Conducting the entire submission for you

  • We carry out for you the entire submission.
  • We develop recommendations as to which matters (deals) should be used for the submission and prepare submission texts ready for dispatch.
  • We collect your data firstly by desk research. Here we analyze all submission related documents from the past.
  • From that data we create a first draft.
  • Then we collect current information by mail or phone from the partners. From these information we create a second draft.
  • If you have current databases we will use them as well.
  • We will then provide you with the final draft. Once the submission has been approved, it can be uploaded to the directories.
  • The texts are created by our native speakers from UK/US and Germany.
  • We treat every submission as a project, sending reminders to partners regarding open feedback.

Creation of “follow up” submissions:

  • A "follow-up" is a submission of a legal field that has already been submitted in another directory no later than four months ago.
  • For instance: A submission was made to Chambers Banking & Finance.
  • A submission made four months later to Legal 500 Banking & Finance would be designated as a "follow-up" submission.
  • You will receive a discount for each such follow-up submission.
  • We will not only add and write the new data, but also adjust formats and matter numbering accordingly.

Workshops, trainings and coachings

  • Our workshops and trainings are aimed at ranking beginners, intermediates and advanced professionals.
  • Trainings are tailored for legal professionals as well as for BD and marketing staff.
  • We show you how to write submissions correctly and select the right content strategically for a successful submission.​
  • We show legal professionals how to select the right content to enhance their standing with the rankings.
  • We show BD and marketing professionals how to motivate partners successfully to provide timely feedback and design the entire submission process effectively.
