Five Fantastic Lawyers® is thrilled to announce its significant expansion, with the independent legal directory now boasting over 5,000 law firms and more than 500 individual lawyers with enhanced profiles.
In light of Internet Brands’ acquisition of FindLaw, Five Fantastic Lawyers® celebrates this milestone as part of a broader strategy backed by fresh private investment. This funding will enable the platform to further enhance the user experience, offer more opportunities for lawyers and firms to showcase their expertise, and support ambitious scaling efforts.
Founder Gav Ward, a former lawyer with vast experience in the legal field and digital marketing, commented:
“The additional investment we’ve secured for FiveFantasticLawyers.com has allowed us to take our platform to new heights. Though I continue to balance my full-time role helping law firms succeed through MLT Digital, I am proud of the significant growth Five Fantastic Lawyers® has achieved. The site upholds its independence with rigorously maintained editorial standards, training our web researchers to find the best attorneys for the five spots for each main practice area and location. All profiles are merit-based, with no option for lawyers to pay for inclusion in these rankings.”
“While some may compare Five Fantastic Lawyers® to established directories like FindLaw or Martindale-Hubbell, we are proud of our unique approach and our milestone of surpassing 1 million visits.”
The platform highlights five top legal professionals in each practice area and city, including small business lawyers, employment specialists, family and divorce lawyers, fractional general counsel (GCs), high net worth estate planning experts, immigration lawyers, managing partners, personal injury lawyers, and private client specialists in wills and estate planning.
Ward continued: “Leveraging our achievements in the legal industry, we are now expanding our process to other vital service sectors with the launch of FiveFantastic.com. Our goal now extends beyond law, helping people find the best professionals in essential services like roofing, electrical work, plumbing, veterinary care, and more across major cities in the UK, US, and Australia.”
“With our bespoke 5-point review process and dedicated team of research assistants, we are committed to maintaining high standards as we continue to grow. Having recently surpassed 1 million visits, Five Fantastic Lawyers® is proud to be a trusted resource for legal and professional expertise, and we look forward to serving an increasing number of users across the UK, US, and Australia.”
