How legit are the Legal500 rankings? I’ve heard that your rank depends on how much you’re willing to pay and worked myself in Tier 1 teams struggling to find clients…

Directory rankings are tricky. Out of all I’d say Legal 500 & Chambers are the “most legit”. Both have odd processes that they keep hush hush and like to be highly selective (usually with no rhyme or reason). Also, the researchers are young 20-somethings that have little to no idea about the industry, so I believe there is a huge disconnect there as well.

Best Lawyers, Best Law Firms, etc. are all a popularity contest . I wouldn’t even worry about those.

I agree.

Chambers is the most legit of all rankings. Legal 500, Benchmark, and some of the speciality publications (for instance I am in patent litigation and would consider IAM Patent rankings) carry some degree of credibility (but not as much as Chambers. Most of the rest (super lawyers, best lawyers, US News) are trash.
