Must we use your pre-formatted Word and Excel templates?

Yes. For data security reasons, you must use our pre-formatted templates.

If you don’t, then you will not be able to upload the documents to us via the Legal 500 Portal – and remember that we only accept files via the Portal (we do not accept them via email).

You can download the latest version for each edition from:

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

Remember that you will need to download two templates:

Law Firm Submissions: this is a Word template.

Client Referee lists: this is an Excel template.
