Terms of Use

Legal Internationals is a publication, not a law firm. Nothing on the site is legal advice, and reading it does not create a lawyer–client relationship with us or with any firm or lawyer it mentions. News, stories and guides describe the law and the market at the time they were written; the law changes and may differ in your case. Take advice from a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction before acting.

A listing, a ranking or a mention is not a recommendation of a firm or lawyer for any particular matter, and we do not refer clients. Practice guides and articles written by law firms are labelled as sponsored or as the firm’s own publication; their authors are responsible for them.

Rankings are our editorial assessment, made by applying the method published on the Methodology page to the evidence it names. They are an opinion on that evidence, not a statement that one firm is better than another for a given client. Each placement says what it rests on and links to its sources, so that a reader can check it.

Directory information (firms, lawyers, titles, practice areas, offices) is read from the firms’ own websites and from what other publishers make public, and is shown as those sources state it. We work to keep it accurate but cannot guarantee that every entry is complete or current. Rankings by other publishers are theirs; we report and link to them, and they are not endorsed by or affiliated with us.

Anyone may ask for an error to be corrected, and a lawyer may ask to be removed: see Corrections and removals.

Firms may pay for a subscription (profile tools, publishing, market tracking) or for labelled advertising. None of it affects a ranking, a placement, a recognition or the newsroom’s coverage. The rules that keep the two apart are published on the For law firms page and bind us. Material a firm supplies about itself is shown as supplied by the firm. Paid or sponsored content is always labelled.

The news feed shows a headline, a short extract and a link to the publisher’s article; the full article stays with its publisher. Our own stories are written in our own words and name and link the reports they draw on. Pictures carry their credit; pictures generated for a story say so on the page and do not show real, identifiable people.

Firm and company names and logos are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify the firm or organisation concerned: on a firm’s own entry, or in a picture generated for a story about it. Their use does not mean that the owner endorses us or that we endorse it. An owner that prefers its logo not to appear may ask us to remove it.

The site’s own text, rankings and design belong to Legal Internationals. You may quote and link to them with attribution. Automated access is welcome where our robots.txt allows it; please identify your crawler and keep a moderate pace.

If you believe something on the site infringes your rights, write to inquiry@legalinternationals.com with the page and the work concerned, and we will look at it promptly and remove it where the complaint is made out.

The site is provided as it stands. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on it, from errors or omissions in information read from third-party sources, or from the content of sites we link to. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

We may change these terms; the date at the top changes when we do. Personal data is handled as set out in the Privacy notice. Questions: inquiry@legalinternationals.com.
