Question 1

Who are we?

Accepted Answer

Chambers and Partners have published guides to the legal profession since 1990. With a team of 200+ full-time researchers at our London head office we identify and rank the world's best lawyers and law firms based on in-depth, objective research.

Question 2

What are Chambers ranking criteria?

Accepted Answer

Our researchers conduct in depth interviews with thousands of lawyers and clients. All interviews are conducted purely for research purposes and are entirely confidential and unattributed.
We select our sources on the basis of:

Submissions put forward by legal practices
Interviews during the course of research
Our own database resources

Rankings are assessed on criteria that include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities that the client considers relevant.

Question 3

How to search for a firm or lawyer

Accepted Answer

We offer two searches: browsing our guides for the ranking tables by jurisdictions and searching for lawyers / law-firms by name on the search engine on our home page here

Question 4

What are Chambers guides?

Accepted Answer

Each guide offers in-depth analysis of the legal market within a specific region (the UK, Europe, Asia, USA, Latin America and Canada), whilst the Global guide offers worldwide coverage, ranking lawyers and law firms with leading international practices.

Question 5

Brexit and the transfer of personal data outside of the European Union

Accepted Answer

We are delighted to confirm that the Brexit agreement reached means that organisations based in the EU/EEA can continue to transfer personal data to us.

This is because the UK will maintain high standards of protection for personal data which includes the same regulatory framework for data protection as in the EU. A full explanatory document about this from the UK government is available here. If you have any doubts about this, we would encourage you to review this to satisfy yourselves that the UK is a safe destination for personal data.
