Overview How do I get a ranking in a Chambers directory? Is participating in research free? How do I know when to submit? Can I have an extension on the submission deadline? Is an interview essential? How is referee feedback collected? Where can I find a definition of practice areas? How will confidential information in a submission be protected? Does sending a submission guarantee a ranking? Should I send separate submissions for Global and Continent-Wide sections? What are Foreign Experts and Foreign Desks? Should I send a separate submission form for Foreign Experts and Foreign Desks? How do I submit Foreign Experts and Foreign Desks submission form? I have a suggestion for a new practice area or an improvement to the Chambers guides. What should I do? When do you contact a firm’s referees? Who will contact the firm’s referees? How often will your team contact those clients suggested by a law firm? How do you reach out to referees? What questions do you ask our clients? Do you ask referees about other firms? Will you tell me which referees have provided feedback? What can I do if one of my firm’s referees says they haven’t been contacted? Can I ask my references to reach out to the researchers directly? How can I ensure that I receive important updates from Chambers and Partners? Does Chambers have a research policy relating to parental leave (maternity/paternity), leave required for caring responsibilities or absence leave taken by ranked lawyers? Does Chambers have a policy on harassment or inappropriate conduct towards its employees? What is the difference between the Global Market Leaders and Global-wide rankings? If a lawyer or team has recently joined my firm, can I include examples of work they completed whilst at their previous firm on a submission? Do you contact referees for Europe-wide sections? Where do you get the feedback and quotes from?
