The Lawyers Global® does not contact Law Firms directly unless under particular circumstances. When our visitors (your prospective clients and search engines) keep searching for a law firm and not finding it listed, we send a unique email to inform the law firm that it is being searched and not found on our platform.
Since the day we started receiving inquiries from law firms about why they didn’t get notified about prospective clients searching for their law firms, we implemented an evaluation system to decide which firms and when we should contact them.
We do not spam or contact law firms to land a new client. We prefer to have law firms contact us instead of contacting them.

There are three types of listings: the Awards listing, overall Law Firms listings in different sections, and the search results listings.
The Awards' listing is based on the firm's position in the respective year awards—winner and outstanding.
The jurisdiction or geo listing (city, country, sub-region, and continent) listing criteria are, from top to bottom, Recommended Firm, active membership, total offices, total awards, total reviews, and then alphabetically.

Yes, The Lawyers Global® ensures that all currently listed law firms are trustworthy. Before accepting a law firm in our system, we perform a background check before approving and including the law firm's listing to ensure that the firm meets our minimum requirements.
Our system and team routinely verify each law firm, including their website availability, security, and overall information, including the practice areas and other publicly available information. Suppose we detect any issue that we consider critical. In that case, we contact the law firm in question to request updated data, and ultimately, we may remove, without prior notice, that law firm.
Although we have a few cases of non-conformity, and if we receive any feedback from our visitors concerning a law firm's incorrect data, our team will perform the verification protocol, including contacting the law firm to clarify what was reported and found by us.
If you find any issue in our listings, we would be grateful if you could report it to us using our contact form here.

The badges can be used in several ways, and some law firms get creative with them.
The primary usage is to place it on your website and, eventually, link to your firm profile page at The Lawyers Global®. A few firms printed the high-resolution badge and put it inside a glass frame in their office. Many use the smaller ones in their emails, etc. The badges are produced and sent in different resolutions for web/electronic and print usage.
We advise our clients to publish them on their social media platforms, like LinkedIn, Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, etc., with a link to your firm's profile page at The Lawyers Global® website.
For additional details on how the badges can be used, please refer to our article "The Lawyers Global Awards Badges," which is linked here.

The answer is yes. When you receive your certificates, be they the Awards Certificate or the Membership Certificate, they are produced and delivered to you in color and high resolution that are print-ready.
Since 2022, we have no longer shipped the printed certificates for ecological reasons and because several firms had issues with their local mail companies and did not receive them.
The current certificates are digitally signed using our National Trust Certifying Authority, and when the certificate .pdf is open, you will see the "Valid Signatures" notice. These certificates can be printed and even exported as an image to be published on the firm's website.

First and foremost, law firms get recognition from The Lawyers Global®, our visitors, prospective clients, and the worldwide Legal Industry.
Law firms on our platform witness our total commitment to offering a one-of-kind client service and seriously increasing their chances of connecting with our visitors – your prospective clients.
The recognition that our member law firms obtain plays a huge difference in the prospective client’s decision process. Law firms that aren’t listed cannot compete with those listed, and the latter are the ones that have a high probability of landing new clients.
By becoming one of The Lawyers Global® members, your law firm and business will be remarkably more visible worldwide to prospective clients from any country – companies and individuals. You’ll get more perks that are much more than the awards.

We will email you 15 (fifteen) days before the expiry date and another within 5 (five) days to ask if you wish to renew your current membership plan, change your membership, and send you the renewal invoice. Please note that the renewal prices are lower than the initial subscription so you will pay less.
