Founded in 2023, Legal Directories Consultants has already partnered with 120+ law firms worldwide to strengthen their submissions to the legal industry’s most prestigious directories: Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, and IFLR.

Led by a former Legal 500 editor, we offer insider knowledge of exactly what directory researchers look for and how to present your practice at its most compelling. Our targeted approach has achieved a c.40% promotion rate for UK clients.

Our business model is not centred on wholesale outsourcing of every submission. Instead, we focus on the practice areas where firms have a genuine case for a higher ranking. Every submission we work on is carefully tailored, evidence-driven, and aligned with the precise criteria that researchers use, ensuring your strengths are conveyed in a way they recognise and value.

Our flexible pricing and range of services make us the trusted choice for regional boutiques through to Magic Circle London offices. Whether you are a market leading practice aiming for Tier One promotion or a smaller firm submitting for the first time, we deliver the same strategic expertise and attention to detail.

Our Services Include:

  • Submission Reviews -a detailed, independent assessment of your existing draft submission, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to enhance your ranking potential
  • Submission Edits – a comprehensive editing of your draft submission to ensure clarity, impact, and persuasive rankings arguments
  • Full Submission Drafting - from scratch, we build a polished, strategic submission tailored to best highlight your practice’s unique strengths
  • Interview Preparation - we prepare your partners for researcher calls, drafting bespoke answers to each of the standard interview questions
  • Strategic Referee Advice – we guide you on who to nominate and how to strategically manage your referees during the research window

We offer a free initial consultation to explore your goals and challenges. Please feel free to visit our website for full details on our fees and services, in addition to a wealth of free resources and case studies with concrete examples of how we can elevate your directory submissions.
