Peerpoint has been awarded a Band 1 ranking in Chambers’ global Flexible Legal Staffing category for the seventh year in a row, reinforcing our position as one of the leading flexible legal resourcing businesses in the market.
This continued recognition reflects the strength, consistency and quality of our global team, as well as the trusted relationships we have built with clients and the calibre of the consultants on our panel. It also underlines the distinctive value Peerpoint brings to the legal industry: connecting clients with highly experienced legal talent who can provide practical, commercial and responsive support when it matters most.
Chambers’ rankings are based on detailed market research, including interviews with leading alternative legal service providers, their clients, corporate GCs and other large purchasers of alternative legal services, as well as third-party market commentators. Client feedback is central to the process, and this year’s comments once again highlighted the quality of Peerpoint’s consultants, the strength of our client relationships and the impact our people make across a wide range of sectors.
We have also been recognised in the ALSP category in APAC, with a Band 3 ranking. This is a significant achievement and reflects the positive impact we continue to make for clients across the region. As Chambers notes: “Peerpoint, the flexible legal staffing business of A&O Shearman, is widely respected in the APAC region...”
What our clients said about us
The feedback Chambers received from our clients as part of this year’s research brings to life the strength of Peerpoint’s proposition:
“Peerpoint has top-quality lawyers with a wealth of experience in various industries, and they are able to bring this experience to the stakeholders that they support on behalf of my team. Their lawyers have great interpersonal skills, work well with business teams and demanding stakeholders, can manage diverse and demanding workloads, and bring a practical and pragmatic approach to their legal support.”
“They are very client-focused and easy to deal with: there’s no hard selling, they understand our needs and are commercially-minded.”
“Peerpoint has an excellent network of experienced lawyers with unique skillsets, which comes in very handy when you are confronted with unique challenges and you need that extra bench strength for a period of time. The Peerpoint lawyers are responsive, professional and add significant value to our practice.”
“Its consultants are generally highly experienced and subject matter experts in their fields; it’s the equivalent of having Magic Circle service on tap. The consultants generally require little supervision and, as many have in-house experience, the learning time is usually short.”
Our international presence, with Peerpoint offices in London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai, enables us to support clients across markets and connect them with consultants in many parts of the world. Chambers also highlighted our leading client base, which includes many of the world’s foremost financial institutions, multinational corporates, technology businesses and organisations operating in the energy, infrastructure and renewables sectors.
As one of the most established flexible legal resourcing businesses in the market, Peerpoint has a deep understanding of the objectives of both clients and consultants. That experience enables us to make high-value, productive matches and to invest the time needed to understand the individual needs of every client and consultant we work with.
This latest recognition is a testament to the trust our clients place in us, the high standards we set for ourselves and the commitment of our teams across every market in which we operate. View the flexible legal staffing table on the Chambers website here.
