About Daniel Sultan Consultancy Ltd
Company overview
Daniel Sultan Consultancy offers legal directory submissions consultancy services to law firms in Asia-Pacific. The founder, Daniel Sultan (myself), worked on the Chambers Asia-Pacific team between 2015 and 2024, including several years overseeing South-East Asia and South Asia research. Services include submissions to Chambers and Partners, Legal 500, IFLR1000, Asian Legal Business and others.
Services are designed to help law firms who are looking to improve their current submissions approach, or who would like guidance on putting forward submissions in the most optimal way. Whether your firm is experienced in writing submissions for rankings and awards, or new to legal directory submissions and unsure where to start, a range of different service offerings are provided based on your requirements.
Clients from across several Asia-Pacific jurisdictions have so far worked with Daniel Sultan Consultancy on their submissions. Please enquire at daniel@danielsultanconsultancy.com to find out how I could also assist your law firm.

- Client feedback research to be conducted by survey, followed by the writing of a report on areas of improvement and market growth opportunities. I have extensive experience of conducting survey-based research of Asia-Pacific legal markets from my time at Chambers and Partners.
Legal directories: Areas of expertise
During my time working on the Chambers Asia-Pacific research team, I gained in-depth insights on a range of different aspects:
- Legal directory practice area definitions and how to effectively present your firm’s expertise within these definitions.
- Demonstrating complexity and significance of work through your written work highlights. Daniel Sultan Consultancy can help you to navigate this issue, as it relates to different practice areas in Asia-Pacific.
- Bringing individual lawyers onto legal directories’ radars. Guidance on bringing individuals forward via the submission and referee lists is provided, as well as demonstrating your firm's bench strength.
- Selecting and interacting with referees. Best practice tips for choosing referees and dealing with common issues that arise during the process of researchers reaching out to them.
- Handling law firm interviews with legal directory researchers, as well as maintaining contact with the research team beyond the research period.
- Besides Chambers, I also have recent experience of the Legal 500, Asian Legal Business and IFLR1000 submissions writing process.
