'Super lawyers' rating service in UK launch

A UK pilot version of a US lawyer-rating service is in the early stages of creation, with the aim of becoming a consumer-facing alternative to the Chambers directory.

Super lawyers, reveal yourselves

The service - provided by Thomson Reuters - is the first foreign venture of the Super Lawyers listing, which has been in operation for more than 20 years, reports the Legal Futures web site.

Rising stars

Thomson Reuters is now inviting nominations from lawyers for its 2013 London Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. On the recently-launched web site, the company says the selection process for the list ‘is designed to find indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement’. Solicitors who are selected to appear are given a free listing and cannot pay to be rated or nominate themselves.

Heather Walker, senior director of Super Lawyers, told Legal Futures: ‘We are proud to introduce our highly acclaimed rating service to solicitors in London, providing them with the opportunity for more visibility among their peers and potential clients.’
