Our research and data are trusted and relied upon by corporate clients globally as an essential part of the process, both of instructing law firms with new mandates, and when reviewing existing mandates or panels.

We exist to empower both buyers and sellers in the international legal marketplace to make better decisions and have improved outcomes for their organisations. This is achieved by leveraging a trusted, comprehensive research process with a unique, vast, proprietary and constantly updated set of client-supplied data, unrivalled in the market.

On the supply side of the legal market, every year Legal 500’s team of over 150 researchers, technologists, data analysts, journalists and content specialists collate and review 60,000+ data-submissions from law firms and conduct interviews with thousands of leading law firm partners. On the demand side, Legal 500 analyses confidential data from 300,000+ commercial law firm clients to benchmark law firms and lawyers by practice area; industry; jurisdiction; as well as by proprietary client satisfaction metrics, NPS®, and other qualitative and quantitative criteria.

Resolution Specialist

Resolution’s Specialist Accreditation Scheme recognises members who demonstrate skilled expertise in specific areas of family law or family finances, and follow our Code of Practice. Resolution’s specialist accreditation is a mark of excellence in practice, recognised by the public, fellow professionals, the judiciary and the Legal Aid Agency.

Accredited specialists can be easily identified on our member search directory and can promote their specialist status with our accreditation logo and client leaflet.

Resolution holds two rounds of Specialist Accreditation each year. The spring round is open to family lawyers and the Autumn round is for both lawyers and financial professionals.

Gaining specialist accreditation is a rigorous two-part process assessed by skilled Resolution experts. Candidates must demonstrate how they meet the competencies, whilst embedding Resolution’s code of Practice. Assessment involves:

A core assignment set over a specific weekend. Assessing your ability to fulfil required competencies.

A portfolio of evidence demonstrating expertise in two areas of practice. You have approximately eight weeks to complete the portfolio.
