1. Advise on the most effective submissions strategy for your law firm
This may include advice on selecting legal directories that best suit your key practice areas, and recommendations on the practice areas that your law firm will have higher chances of getting ranked in.
2. Overseeing the various legal directory deadlines
One of the greatest hassles for law firms is keeping track of the numerous directory submission deadlines spread throughout the whole of the year. We will manage and notify you in advance to prepare the respective materials that need to be submitted so that you will not miss any deadlines!
3. Preparation & vetting of submission documents
Each submission document we receive from you will be vetted to ensure all necessary fields are filled in. Our consultants will then review your submission and provide you with recommended edits if necessary to ensure that your submission will obtain the optimum results. No matter how many directories you wish to participate in, you will only need to provide us with the information once. We will do the necessary to reproduce the respective content into the various legal directory submission forms. This will cut down on your workload significantly!
4. Monitoring of client referee contact period
Lack of referee responses ranks highly as to why law firms do not get ranked or receive undesirable results. We will monitor and inform you of when the legal researchers begin contacting your clients and will provide you with tools for your clients’ convenience to respond.
5. Setting up of telephone interviews with legal researchers
We help to pitch for your key lawyers to be interviewed by the respective researchers. Do note that the legal researchers are not obliged to interview everyone who makes a submission. However, we do our best to set up opportunities for you to speak to the legal researchers. We find that doing this helps the researchers get to know you and your law firm’s capabilities a little better.
6. Pre-interview coaching for key partners
We will provide key lawyers with coaching prior to their phone or face-to-face interviews with the researchers. The coaching session helps to prepare interviewees to maximise their time with the legal researchers. Our Rankings Consultant will also help you identify a few key messages and have a clearer idea of how you can position yourself and your firm amongst your competitors.
7. Close follow-up with the researchers
We keep close tabs on your submissions once it has been submitted to the directories. Often, we are alerted when there has been a poor/insufficient response from your client referrees when contacted. We then help alert you so that you can do something about it. We help ensure that the legal researchers and editors are constantly updated with the latest developments and case updates throughout the year even after the submission.
8. Legal rankings results feedback and tracking
We keep track of your firm’s rankings year on year so that you are able to see the performance of your rankings in the various legal directories over the years. We also provide clients with feedback on the determining factors of your firm’s ranking after it has been published and advise on how you can refine and further improve on the following year’s submissions.
