Doyle’s Guide rankings are compiled from peer surveys and interviews with practitioners, clients and industry bodies. Submissions are welcome but never required: they help our researchers understand your practice and identify the peers and clients to consult. There is no fee, and a submission does not of itself determine a ranking.

Email the editorial teamBefore you start
- Check your deadline. Submissions are due two months before each ranking publishes. Find yours in the 2027 Rankings Publication Schedule, or open the form from the “Submit for this ranking” link beside your practice area there and the area and jurisdiction are filled in for you.
- One submission per practice area and jurisdiction. A firm submitting for Insolvency & Restructuring in Victoria and New South Wales makes two submissions.
- Key matters from the last 12 months only. Outside Family Law, every matter must be capable of being referenced publicly; confidential matters are not accepted.
- At least three referees, who should be referrers of work rather than one-off clients. Referees are used for verification only and are never published.
- Save and come back. The forms save as you go, and “Save & Continue Later” gives you a private link to finish on any device or hand to a colleague.
