How do we use The Legal 500 Portal?

You use the Portal to send us Submissions documents and Client Referee.

Follow these steps:

Which Edition you are submitting for? Choose between: Asia Pacific; Canada; Caribbean; Deutschland (in English); Deutschland (in German); Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Latin America; United Kingdom (Solicitors); United Kingdom (The Bar); United States.

Check the submissions timetable for that Edition, visit our Submissions Information page.

Check which Country and Practice Areas you are submitting for. There is a list of Practice Areas here.

Do you want to create a Law Firm Submission or a Client Referee list (or both)?

To create a Law Firm Submission: download the pre-prepared Word template for that Edition here.

To create a Client Referee list: download the pre-prepared Excel template for that Edition here.

For data security reasons, you must use the pre-formatted Word / Excel templates, and cannot alter their layout, or delete any unwanted sections. If you do, the file will be rejected as a security risk.

You will need a separate Word / Excel file for each Practice Area

Upload the file(s) to us

You can come back and add new files, or amended files (but check the Submissions Timetable, to make sure you will not be too late – see (1) above)
