Legal Directories
Legal Directories
We feel the same about legal submissions as you do.
We are dealing with Chambers & Partners, Legal500 and IFLR1000 submissions for more than 10 years. We assisted in more than 200 submissions. We even did specific submissions like WTR1000 or IPStars.
We know we have to do it.
We can help you, saving some of your most valuable asset: time.
One of our colleagues worked at Chambers & Partners for several years as a Senior Researcher on the Chambers Europe directory, also working for the Chambers UK and Global directories at times.
We can even help you present your rankings to your clients and prospects. Why would you spent that much time and effort with the submissions if you won’t let the world know how good you are?

Branding for law firms
Branding for law firms
If you want to stand out from the crowd, if you want an individual image for your law firm – we can help!
The choice of colors and the creation of a logo are only the basis of a successful image.
A brand is more than a logo. It is the promise we make to our clients.
The image is nothing more than what your office presents to the outside world. Based on these, an image is formed in the mind of the receiver, the potential customers.
We help you steer this in a positive direction – with graphic and other communication tools.
We can
- design your logo
- provide a brand-guide
- create your branding materials (business cards, Word and PPT templates, envelopes, brochure, pens, notebooks, mugs and anything you can imagine your logo on)

Law firm websites
Law firm websites
We know. You know. Your law firm needs a new website.
You have a vision.
We have the experience.
Why do you need a new website?
Your website is most of the times the first contact point of your potential clients with you. You want to impress and inform at the same time. You want to build reputation and introduce yourself as an expert on your field. Most of the lawyer websites are more than 6 years old. Do you use a 6 years old cellphone? Or a notebook? Your clients neither. Technology and the client needs are changing so rapidly that you have to keep up with them. Or someone else will.
A good law firm website can do all this. And even more.
Some of the law firms only need a nice website to present information about themselves. Some of them use it as a content distribution tool – like the blog or client alert section.
Others use it as a client generating platform. They will need a newsletter subscription and SEO (search engine optimization – to be on the top of the Google organic searches).
Why us?
We can do all of that. We have done it before.
We created more than 40 lawyer or law firm websites. We are working with lawyers, web designers, graphic designers and even with a native English proofreader (with a Phd. in Linguistics and several years of experience at Chambers and Partners).

LinkedIn training for lawyers
LinkedIn training for lawyers
Are you on LinkedIn but you don’t use it on a daily basis? You only have a few hundred connections, but you’ve never received an inquiry via LinkedIn? Maybe you haven’t even registered yet, maybe you don’t believe it makes any sense?
We know that one of the most important resources for lawyers is time – and yet they have the least of it. That is why we do not organize a full- or half-day conference and lecture, but a maximum 90-minutes workshop.
We only provide practical knowledge that can be used on a daily basis.
It doesn’t matter on what level you are using LinkedIn. If necessary, we will guide you from the creation of the profile to the ways and times it is worth sharing content on LinkedIn. Our 16-page manual helps you create the ideal lawyer LinkedIn profile.
Lawyers on LinkedIn
If you use LinkedIn, you probably see that most of the posts are about one lawyer winning an award, another attending a conference, and a third publishing a professional article. And it repeats itself over and over again. If you’re wondering if this really makes sense, then be sure to sign up for our LinkedIn training, where we’ll tell you what really works on “the business Facebook” and what’s just a waste of time.
During our presentation and personal consultation, you will learn:
why a lawyer should be active on LinkedIn
how to create a profile as a lawyer
what are the most common mistakes – why LinkedIn is punishing us
do you need a law firm profile or just a personal one is sufficient enough
groups, pages, comments – what we use LinekedIn for
how the algorithm works – what kind of posts does it like
tips, tricks, daily use
If you are already an advanced user, but still want to step up and use LinkedIn for active customer acquisition, PR or greater visibility, we can adapt the workshop in this direction as well. If required, we review your profile and practice in advance, and accordingly provide you with advice in order to build more effective relationships.
For law firms and marketing/BD managers
The training is useful not only for lawyers, but also for law firms. We assess the LinkedIn activity of the firm and colleagues in advance and shape the presentation accordingly.
We help lawyers improve their profiles, target posts and other activities, and use LinkedIn effectively. We will show you what changes can be achieved by spending 5 minutes a day.
For the marketing/BD colleague, we explain how the LinkedIn algorithm works, what are its latest changes and how these can be incorporated into marketing activity – from graphic elements to defining hashtags. Moreover, LinkedIn’s advertising system also becomes more transparent, we can delve deeper into its solutions, depending on the communication goals.
Personalized LinkedIn consulting
After the lecture/workshop, if needed, we will help one-on-one with the setting up and fine-tuning of the profiles, the wording and the development of the trends of the posts.
Who should be the participants of the group LinkedIn presentation?
Who should be the participants of the group LinkedIn presentation?
The managers and partners of the law firm, lawyers, associates, HR and marketing managers, administrative colleagues – everyone should be aware of the operation of the system, the goals, metrics and tools of communication.

The first thing potential clients check after hearin about a lawyer is the website? Potential clients find the office through the website. Potential clients find the relevant publications and articles of this excellent professional through the website.
Online.
Website, Facebook, LinkedIn – are the most important and common platforms a lawyer can not miss. Innovative and prescient lawyers rely on newsletter, blog, social media tools. We help you plan and execute an optimal online presence.
