Leading individuals in the team

Please provide full details of any lawyers that you wish to nominate as leading individuals.
Generally speaking, you should not put forward every partner/lawyer in the practice; this is unrealistic and is counterproductive for the lawyers concerned.
Each nomination should include any relevant supporting information that demonstrates the profile of the individual in question, with reference to both work examples and non-work highlights.

Supporting information
Every lawyer mentioned in our editorial is ‘recommended’, but our ‘leading individuals’ lists are designed to highlight those lawyers who are pre-eminent in their given field. The lists are exclusive and have been substantially reduced in recent years; where appropriate, they will be shortened again this year. Usually, for a lawyer to be awarded leading individual status, he or she will have: A substantial amount of excellent referee feedback A substantial amount of excellent peer feedback Had a prominent role in several leading matters in the current year; and A strong track record over recent years. Please provide full details of any lawyers that you wish to nominate as leading individuals. Generally speaking, you should not put forward every partner/lawyer in the practice; this is unrealistic and is counterproductive for the lawyers concerned. Each nomination should include any relevant supporting information that demonstrates the profile of the individual in question, with reference to both work examples and non-work highlights.

Next Generation Lawyers

The rankings in The Legal 500 focus on the bench strength of the teams within law firms. Responding to feedback from GCs, who regularly assess the quality of the associates before they look at the partners – or simply look to the team as a whole – we have included a list of the UK’s leading ‘next generation’ of partners (or experienced non-partners in smaller markets where partnership status is rarely bestowed).
We encourage firms to include information about senior associates and counsel in the submission whom they feel make a material difference to the practice’s offering, and who have a strong case to be recognised by The Legal 500. This should include client referees and it should include credit given in the detailed work highlights.
