February 2026: New deadline for Legal 500 Latin America

The submission deadline for Legal 500 Latin America is February 13, 2026. Interviews will take place between February 13 and April 24, 2026, and publication of the results is expected in October 2026.

Achieving a strong ranking in prestigious directories such as Legal 500 is an external, objective mark of quality. A solid position in a directory of this stature is a key factor in a law firm’s reputation within the legal sector and directly contributes to generating new business.

At Gericó Associates, we maintain ongoing contact with researchers and editors, which ensures the most effective and up-to-date approach to supporting our clients throughout the submissions process.

Our international directories experts, led by former Chambers and Partners researchers, can answer all your questions and support you in preparing your submissions. Contact us at info@gericoassociates.com.

Our partner María Sol Rubio recently took part in The Legal Podcast, where she addressed a critical topic for law firm reputation and business development: international legal directories such as Chambers & Partners and Legal 500. Here is the full episode if you would like to get up to speed on International Directories.

Upcoming Legal 500 deadline: February 13, 2026
