Our research and data are trusted and relied upon by corporate clients globally as an essential part of the process, both of instructing law firms with new mandates, and when reviewing existing mandates or panels.
We exist to empower both buyers and sellers in the international legal marketplace to make better decisions and achieve improved outcomes for their organizations. This is achieved by leveraging trusted, comprehensive research with a unique, vast, proprietary and constantly updated set of client-supplied data, unrivalled in the market.
On the supply side of the legal market, every year Legal 500’s team of 150+ researchers, technologists, data analysts, journalists, and content specialists collate and review 60,000+ data-submissions from law firms and conduct interviews with thousands of leading law firm partners. On the demand side, Legal 500 analyses confidential data from 300,000+ commercial law firm clients to benchmark law firms and lawyers by practice area; industry; jurisdiction; as well as by proprietary client satisfaction metrics, NPS®, and other qualitative and quantitative criteria.
Legal 500 is the only source of this depth of global research and data on law firms, lawyers, and their clients.
