put together and for fee earners, that means they\u2019re costly too.

Fast, accurate, well-written and with the right tone of voice, our role in the legal directory process has been invaluable over the years.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”see-through-2″ color_override=”#192b41″ hover_color_override=”#192b41″ hover_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”GET IN TOUCH” url=”\/contact-us”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”see-through-2″ color_override=”#192b41″ hover_color_override=”#192b41″ hover_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”GET IN TOUCH” url=”\/contact-us”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”column_reverse” column_direction_phone=”column_reverse” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”45px” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”45px” top_padding_tablet=”50px” constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_padding_tablet=”50px” constrain_group_4=”yes” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”medium-container toggle-panel-wrapper” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”0″ bottom_padding_desktop=”0″ left_padding_desktop=”0″ right_padding_desktop=”7%” top_padding_tablet=”70px” bottom_padding_tablet=”0″ top_padding_phone=”30px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” column_padding_type=”advanced”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding=”10″ top_padding_tablet=”8%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text el_class=”custom-sub-heading”]THE POWER OF THE DIRECTORIES[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#000000″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”none” content_alignment=”left” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Third-party endorsement, and credibility”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1793794180222{border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The resource needed to compile these submissions means they are often left until the deadlines creating last-minute stress. It\u2019s no wonder that firms are increasingly looking at whether they should even bother.<\/p>\n

Yet it always boils down to the fact they are still widely held as important third-party endorsement in what is an increasingly competitive marketplace. Visibility and reputation are paramount, and it takes a brave firm to make the decision not to be involved.<\/p>\n

Law firms of all sizes, from global giants to boutique specialists strive to demonstrate their expertise, client service and market leadership. One of the most established ways to do this is through inclusion in leading legal directories, such as The Legal 500 and Chambers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column bottom_margin_tablet=”100px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”0px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” column_padding_type=”advanced”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”13038″ image_size=”portfolio-thumb_large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f0f1ef” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”100″ left_padding_desktop=”70″ right_padding_desktop=”70″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”small-container” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”center” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_icon icon_family=”fontawesome” icon_style=”default” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_padding=”20px” pointer_events=”all” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left” icon_size=”20″][vc_column_text]\n
