How is Client Satisfaction measured?

Clients are asked to score firms on each of the following criteria and sub-criteria: 

Lawyer and team quality:

  • Partner Availability and Engagement
  • Quality of Associates
  • Quality of Partners

Billing and efficiency

  • Appropriate Resourcing
  • Efficiency in Delivering the Legal Product
  • Billing: Transparency
  • Billing: Value for Work Done
  • Communication and Case Management

Sector knowledge

  • Profile in the sector
  • Industry/Commercial Knowledge

Our Net Promoter Score (NPS®) client experience matrix asks the question: ‘How likely are you to recommend this law firm?’. Answers are given on a 0-to-10 scale, from ‘not at all likely’ (0) to ‘extremely likely’ (10), and respondents are categorised as ‘detractors’ (0-6), ‘passives’ (7-8) or ‘promoters’ (9-10). The NPS® is calculated by: 

  • ignoring the passives; and 
  • deducting the percentage who are detractors from the percentage who are promoters.
