Applications for General Counsel + In-house teams

Did you know that we not only advise law firms? At Legal Directories Consultancy by Gericó Associates, we also work with legal in-house teams from companies in varied sectors. If your role is in-house lawyer, General Counsel or Legal Director, we can assist you with preparing and submitting your applications for highly regarded publications in your category, such as the GC Powerlist from The Legal 500.

These publications highlight the most-respected legal in-house professionals in different jurisdictions, including many Asia-Pacific jurisdictions such as China, Hong Kong, Australia and Southeast Asia.

Depending on the directories’ schedule, they will recognise either full in-house legal teams or the main legal decision-maker at the company, usually the General Counsel or Legal Director.

These lists are revealed in different events around the world, and then published in the directories’ website. This will bring interesting networking opportunities as well as helping position an individual or team in the market.

Contact us to help with your nomination if you or your team:

• Changes or forms opinions at your company or sector
• Has come up with outstanding technical solutions to legal issues
• Has created ground-breaking structures for in-house legal teams

The application process will include an initial videocall with the team or GC involved where we will discuss their strengths and work carried out as well as defining objectives and the information that we will include in the submission.

If successful, the team or GC will appear on the final list of professionals selected by the directory, which will include editorial highlighting the work and comments from law firms and their experience with them.

The legal 500 is the main directory carrying out this type of the research, however in recent times, the prestigious publisher Chambers and Partners has also launched these lists in several jurisdictions, resulting in more opportunities for you or your team to receive the recognition deserved.
