“David provided us with excellent insights around the directories process and helped reframe our thinking about what we should focus on. He was easy to work with and offered great value for money. I recommend him wholeheartedly.”

Director of Business Development, major London law firm

“As a former practising lawyer, a former editor of The Legal 500 UK and a current directories consultant, David is among a small number of consultants that has seen the legal directories process from all perspectives. He is experienced, reliable and knows what is required to prepare a cohesive, credible submission and argue the best case for a ranking.”

Mike Nash, Chief Editor of the Legal 500 series

“David has helped us with our Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 submissions. His vast experience and ‘insider knowledge’ were invaluable. He knew exactly what the researchers were looking for and how to ensure that our entries showcased the skills of our firm succinctly and articulately. His excellent and genial manner with the lawyers meant that they really engaged with the submissions, usually a somewhat difficult process! We were delighted with the results – we increased our rankings across the board in both directories.”

Marketing and Communications Manager, full-service Cardiff law firm

“Being able to tap into David’s experience of how the legal directories work has been invaluable to us.  And he helped us secure a brand new ranking in a different jurisdiction, which we were delighted with.” 

Business Development Manager, leading UK technology law firm

“David has a highly professional and objective approach. His considerable insight from his previous roles meant he was able to advise us on structure and methodology, providing training sessions to larger groups on the ‘do’s and don’ts’ of submissions and deal with specialist areas in one-to-one sessions. The feedback from these sessions was very positive and we all learned something valuable from our work with David.”

Partner, major Scottish law firm

“David is clearly very skilled at what he does, but for me his key skills are his efficiency and his ability to make the process a more straightforward exercise. He is incredibly professional in his approach, and gives expert guidance.”
