Attorney nameplate engraving
Engraving fixes a name and a title in metal or wood, so the wording has to be right before it starts. Chambers Nameplates engraves from the list your firm sends and keeps punctuation, suffixes and accented letters as typed.

What should a firm send to have attorney nameplates engraved?
Send Chambers Nameplates one row per plate with the attorney's preferred professional name, the title the firm has approved and the firm name in its full registered style. Mark which lines are optional. Type everything; do not send a photo of the directory. We engrave what the list says, including every comma in the firm name.
How should a name with a suffix and credentials be set?
An office manager is ordering an Attorney Desk Nameplate for a lateral hire named Tomás Fitzgerald-Okoye III. His email signature adds Esq. after the name and Attorney at Law beneath it. On a plate, both together say the same thing twice. She asks him which he prefers, and he picks the name with its suffix on line one and Counsel, his title at the new firm, on line two. The accent on Tomás stays. The firm line reads Aldous, Brennan & Shah LLP, with the comma and ampersand as registered. Before sending the row, she checks his title against the offer letter instead of his old firm's website.

Attorney Desk Nameplate
Choose the display position and measure the available width. A long surname or dual-language name may need a wider format; reducing every line to fit a small standard plate can weaken the introduction.

How does a roster become a set of engraved plates?
01
Copy names from the directory
Pull names from the firm's personnel system or the published attorney directory and paste them into the order sheet. Retyping is where accents, apostrophes and Roman numerals get lost.
02
Confirm titles with whoever owns them
Associate, Senior Associate, Counsel, Of Counsel and Partner are not interchangeable. Have the managing partner's office or HR confirm the title column before it leaves the building.
03
Read each plate aloud against the list
On the proof, one person reads the sheet aloud while another follows the plate. This catches a transposed surname faster than either person scanning the page alone.

Questions about attorney nameplate engraving
What should a firm send to have attorney nameplates engraved?
Send Chambers Nameplates one row per plate with the attorney's preferred professional name, the title the firm has approved and the firm name in its full registered style. Mark which lines are optional. Type everything; do not send a photo of the directory. We engrave what the list says, including every comma in the firm name.
Should a plate say Esq., Attorney at Law or neither?
That is your firm's call. Many firms show the name and the internal title only. Using Esq. after the name and Attorney at Law beneath it repeats the point. Pick one style for the whole office, tell us, and Chambers Nameplates applies it to every row.
Can accented and non-English names be engraved correctly?
Yes, when they arrive as typed text. Accents, tildes, apostrophes and hyphens are engraved as supplied. For a name in a second script, send the text and a reference image showing how it should look. The proof displays both lines so the attorney can check their own name.
What happens when an attorney's title changes after engraving?
An engraved title cannot be edited; the plate or its strip is made again. That is why firms with frequent promotions choose an insert format, where only the strip is replaced. Tell us at the start if a promotion round is close, and consider waiting for it.
Is there an extra charge for a third engraved line?
It depends on the plate. Some formats are laid out for three lines and some for two. Extra lines, a second engraved side or a firm emblem can add to the work. The written quote states what engraving is covered for each plate on your list.
