Why Clients Use Chambers

Since 1990, Chambers has published the leading directories of the legal profession. Clients trust them to find exactly the right lawyer or law-firm.

Our reputation is based on our independence and objectivity. No other organization has the strength of our editorial and research team. We have the largest and the best research team of its kind in the world.

It is accepted world-wide that our directories are the most accurate and the most reliable.

Methodology

Law Firms

We rank lawyers and law firms on several factors and considerations, all of which are investigated by our large team of more than 170 researchers. They are employed full-time in our central London office and work throughout the year contacting lawyers and clients direct by telephone and email.

A law firm ranking relates to a department of the firm, not to the firm as a whole.

Where a firm has several departments specialising in different areas of law, we may rank some departments and not others. (A ranking will only apply to a law firm as a whole where the firm specialises in just one practice area)

Individual Lawyers

Individual lawyers are ranked (in their practice-area(s)) on the basis of their legal knowledge and experience, their ability, their effectiveness, and their client-service.

Departments

Law-firm departments are ranked on the qualities of their lawyers as above. In addition, we consider the effectiveness and capability of the department as a whole – its strength and depth (An individual lawyer can be ranked while their law firm is not).

Methods

These factors and considerations are judged by:

(a) interviews with those active in the market – mainly clients (who can be law firms instructing other law firms) and other lawyers with whom they work

(b) assessing recent work done

Internal meetings are held by researchers, deputy editors and editors to go through the research we have conducted and to compile and approve the ranking tables.
