The legal profession is divided on the value of the legal directories with an even split between those who believe they improve transparency and those who dispute this, according to the latest Global Legal Post snapshot survey.
However, a majority of lawyers and other professionals working in the market believe directory rankings are at least ‘somewhat accurate’ and nearly two thirds think clients refer to directories to choose advisers at least sometimes.
Chambers and Partners, meanwhile, was ranked ahead of The Legal 500 as the market leader.
