Despite the global health crisis derived from Covid-19, international legal directories such as Chambers and Partners have decided to follow their original research schedules, with slight changes in deadlines that were scheduled straight after the pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization.
Both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners have released statements related to the global emergency, in which they ensure they will do their best to maintain schedules as possible and original release dates.
These directories provide the most up-to-date rankings for the legal professional and are the most prestigious ones due to their independent research and the fact that you cannot “buy” your way in, this is, it is completely free of charge to submit your application.
However, submitting your application is not a guarantee that your department will obtain a place, thus, it is important to carefully select and present relevant information for each practice area.
This way, June 2020 will be a key month for most law firms willing to submit, considering there are several deadlines coming up.
At Legal Directories Consultancy by Gericó Associates we have prepared the following tables with upcoming deadlines for Asia-Pacific, to help organize your submissions well in advance:
Legal 500
Chambers and Partners
Obtaining a ranking in prestigious international directories such as Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 is key to position law firms in the market and enhance their reputation. If you need specialized and quality advice to prepare your submission, please contact us at info@gericoassociates.com
