Do you know how expert your lawyers really are?

Meisterline’s KUJI® Ratings are the first science-based system enabling you to measure the expertise that any lawyer or law firm has to offer.

Now no-one has to guess anymore.

With KUJI Ratings, law firms can more easily attract and retain exceptional talent, and clients can find higher-quality and better value-for-money lawyers.

What We Do

Meisterline® is solving one of the biggest problems in today’s trillion-dollar global legal industry: The inability to objectively measure the expertise of lawyers and law firms. 

This lack of transparency has prevented law firms from accurately valuing their lawyers – and left clients struggling to understand what it is they’re actually paying for. True comparisons between different legal services providers have simply not been possible.

But today clients can objectively measure – and compare – the expertise of virtually any lawyer or law firm, law firms can value and differentiate their legal talent much more effectively, and individual lawyers can more confidently chart their way to career success.

We empower clients to

  • Find better value-for-money lawyers without sacrificing quality
  • Improve legal-spend decisions using critical quantitative data
  • Hire law firms that share their values on issues such as diversity

And we enable law firms to

  • Attract and retain better legal talent, and increase client loyalty
  • Avoid becoming viewed as mere “commodity” service providers
  • Maximize the value and marketability of their lawyers’ expertise
