Make your practice’s work clear to researchers
Strong submissions make it easy for researchers to understand the significance of the work, the role of the team and the position of the practice in its market. We help firms choose realistic categories, select the strongest matters and turn raw project information into concise, persuasive directory language.

Before we start
Can you help with a first submission?
Yes. We review your practice, available matters and target categories, then help structure the information for the agreed directory. We can also work from previous submissions and update the narrative for a new research cycle.
What do you need from our lawyers?
A list of recent matters, the team’s role, the significance of each project, relevant lawyer information and potential client referees. We identify missing information and prepare drafts for your review. Your team confirms accuracy and confidentiality before filing.
How is the multi-practice discount calculated?
We provide a combined quote based on the number of practices, directories, jurisdictions and overlapping materials. The discount and final fee are confirmed before starting.
Does €1,000 cover every directory?
The rate is per practice. The proposal specifies the directory submissions and research editions included, so the scope and total price are clear before you commit.
Can you guarantee a ranking?
No. The publisher makes the ranking decision through its research process. Our work is to prepare an accurate, well-structured submission that explains your practice and its work.
Can you work to an approaching deadline?
Send the directory, jurisdiction, practice and deadline, together with the materials already available. We will confirm whether we can complete the work in time before accepting the project.
Planning your next submissions?
Send your firm’s website, practice areas, target directories and deadlines. We will confirm the scope and fee, including a discount for multiple practices.
