Top3legal.com is an interactive client / lawyer portal. For clients, it allows their teams to have immediate access to the contact details and profiles for all their external lawyers in an easy to use Team Sheet. They can add their private recommendations and notes to create a corporate record of which lawyer assisted on which matter and to record their views on those lawyers. For lawyers, it enables them to build their personal brands and market profiles and to benefit from client recommendations. Founded by three former lawyers (two law firm partners and a FTSE 100 general counsel), top3legal.com has been developed following detailed market research with top law firms and a range of clients. At the heart of top3legal.com is a database of over 158,000 lawyers in over 420 top law firms worldwide. More lawyer profiles are being added each month. Every lawyer can simply adopt his / her free profile which they then control and edit, similar to a LinkedIn profile. The real power of top3legal.com, and a key differentiator from traditional legal directories, is the ability for clients to collaborate and share their recommendations privately with their colleagues or network. Set-up and use are straightforward. Standard lawyer profiles are free. Any lawyer can seek, and receive recommendations. Extended, premium profiles allow lawyers to provide more credentials information - but have no bearing on recommendations or search results. Client teams can register and use free of charge, inputting and pooling recommendations for use in their team in under 15 minutes resulting in an invaluable team resource for day-to-day use.
