LegalConverter moves your filled submission data between Chambers and The Legal 500 — and referee spreadsheets — both ways, with formatting intact. 100% offline: your confidential client data never leaves the computer.
Purpose-built for the Chambers and Legal 500 submission workflow, end to end.
Chambers ⇄ Legal 500, in both directions — Word submission forms and referee spreadsheets (.xlsx). Pick a filled form and a blank template; every field is mapped and filled.
Works with both the current Legal 500 form and the older table-based “earlier version of Word” template — the tool detects which one you’ve loaded and fills it correctly.
Bold, underline and font colour (e.g. a red “CONFIDENTIAL”), bullets and multiple people/firms per matter carry across both ways. Blank rows are removed and each work highlight starts on its own page.
Reuse last year’s submission to pre-fill this year’s blank form — with a checklist of what to refresh: stale matters, ongoing statuses, and “new” clients.
No cloud, no AI, no telemetry — nothing is ever uploaded. Built for confidential client data and firm IT/risk policies. GDPR-friendly by design.
A single portable .exe. Runs on locked-down firm laptops without administrator rights — just double-click and go.
From a finished form in one format to a filled form in the other — in under a minute.
Drop in the completed Chambers or Legal 500 submission you already have.
Add the empty template of the other format. The direction is detected automatically.
Get a new, fully filled file — plus a report of anything worth reviewing.
The result is a clean, ready-to-send file — formatting and font colour preserved, blank rows removed, and each work highlight on its own page.
Submission forms are full of confidential client names and unpublished matters. LegalConverter is built so none of it is ever exposed.
No connection. No cloud. No exceptions. The whole tool is a single file that runs locally on a firm laptop.
A few details aren’t in the document you’re converting — they live in your firm’s knowledge (industry sector, deal values, whether a client is “new”). The Enterprise add-on lets your firm’s own AI assistant — most often Microsoft Copilot — fill those in from what your firm already knows. The conversion itself still runs 100% offline, and we set up the connection for you — there’s nothing for you to configure.
LegalConverter flags the few fields the new form needs that weren’t in your document — like industry sector, deal value, or whether a client is new.
Your firm’s AI assistant — usually Microsoft Copilot — answers them from what your firm already knows, such as past submissions and your own records, without anything leaving the firm.
Those answers are placed straight into the right spots on the form. Your team reviews everything before it’s sent.
You don’t install anything new or change how your firm works. We set up the link between LegalConverter and your firm’s AI assistant — for most firms that’s Microsoft Copilot — so it simply works alongside the tools you already use. Your firm keeps full control of both the AI and the data, the whole time. We handle the setup for you — there’s nothing for your team to build.

| Accuracy | ✕Paraphrases, drops or invents — and can break the form’s structure and formatting | ✓Copies every field verbatim — structure, bullets and colour intact |
| Consistency | ✕A different result each run — not reproducible or auditable | ✓Deterministic — identical, reviewable output every time |
| Confidentiality | ✕Sends the full confidential submission to the model | ✓100% offline — nothing ever leaves the computer |
| Speed & cost | ✕Slow and token-heavy on a large form | ✓Instant, and free per conversion |
In short: an AI rewrites; LegalConverter transfers — exactly — which is why the gap-fill above uses your firm’s AI only for the fields not in the source, never for the conversion itself.
Directories / submissions specialists who prepare rankings forms across many practices and markets.
Consultants who handle Chambers and Legal 500 submissions at scale for multiple firms — fastest return on every saved hour.
The more practice areas and jurisdictions you file, the more re-keying LegalConverter removes.
Try every feature on your own forms first. Licensing is priced individually by firm size and team — no fixed list price.
Some fields aren’t in the source document — industry sector, the Legal 500 practice choice, deal values, “new client?”. With the Enterprise add-on, your firm’s own AI assistant — usually Microsoft Copilot — fills those from your knowledge, and LegalConverter writes them in. The tool itself stays 100% offline — the AI step runs in your environment, never ours. We connect the add-on to your firm’s AI model for you. Available on the Firm and Agency plans.
Every plan starts with a free trial, then pricing tailored to your firm’s size and team — get in touch for a quote.
