[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 13743, member: 1"] Thanks to [USER=1532]@Lumree[/USER] for flagging this up. Legal 500 recently released their UK 2020 rankings: [URL]http://www.legal500.com/assets/pages/united-kingdom/uk.html[/URL]. Many of you will be familiar with the site, but if you aren't already, they're quite a useful way of researching a firm's practice area strengths. For example, you can see Jones Day's London office is ranked tier 1 or 2 for the likes of mid market private equity, fraud and real estate funds: [URL]https://www.legal500.com/firms/50505-jones-day/9065-london-england[/URL]. Note, just because a firm has a lower tier ranking in a practice area, it doesn't necessarily mean that that area is not a strength or core practice area. You can read about their ranking methodology here: [URL]https://www.legal500.com/assets/pages/about-us/how-it-works.html[/URL]. You can also use it to find notable lawyers, and a firm's key clients and recent deals. e.g. Simmons & Simmons [ATTACH]1195[/ATTACH] [URL]http://www.legal500.com/firms/3058-simmons-simmons/476-london[/URL] That's very useful; although as always, if this is something you want to mention in your application forms, think about why you are mentioning a client or deal. If you're using it to back up a point you are making and it flows with the rest of the application then that's usually fine. It's not fine if you're mentioning a random deal and it's not clear why it's there. If you use Legal 500/have any tips to share on using it, feel free to include them below. It has been a while since I've personally used it! [/QUOTE]
