Our founding partner, Nick Voyatzis, read History at King’s College London, completed the Graduate Diploma in Law, and worked as a Paralegal before becoming an Editor at The Legal 500.

At The Legal 500, Nick researched and edited six editions of the UK, EMEA, and APAC guides — as well as five versions of the US coverage.
As an editor, he significantly grew his sections in both annual revenue and the number of participating firms.

Through hundreds of meetings with law firms, he observed that even the largest Magic Circle firms were often unaware of key ranking criteria. This led him to believe there was a knowledge gap in the market and that he could be of significant value to firms as a directories consultant.

Throughout his time at Legal 500, every firm would push for increased recognition yet only a very small percentage of submitters would back their claims of grandeur with compelling evidence.

He left Legal 500 and founded LDC to help firms avoid this all too common mistake.
