Chambers Spotlight Illinois
Chambers has helped firms connect with thousands of legal professionals
We’ve seen a notable shift in the Illinois legal market, with many large organizations seeking nimble, local firms that can swiftly address in-house counsel needs.
Chambers Spotlight Illinois is specifically for firms with fewer than 75 attorneys and those not yet holding a department ranking in the main Chambers USA guide.
Firms that only have individual attorneys ranked in the main guide remain eligible for a Spotlight ranking. By highlighting small to medium-sized Illinois firms, we connect in-house counsel—who want more options for legal services—with agile, highly responsive support.

What's involved in gaining a Spotlight ranking?
Our Spotlight research consists of four steps: identifying the law firms, conducting the interviews, determining the rankings and ultimately releasing the guide.
Spotlight Spotlight Research – your time to shine:
Law firms are selected by our research team
Attorneys speak to Chambers about their firms
Our Spotlight Team assesses the firms taking part
The rankings are announced and featured on chambers.com
What to expect from an interview
An interview is the core of our Spotlight research. We conduct an anonymous and unattributable interview lasting around 45 minutes.
We will discuss your firm, the practice areas you work across and the types of clients you represent.
We invite you to share a selection of work highlights handled by the firm over the last 12 months. The Spotlight researcher will also ask for a brief update on the market in your area and for feedback about other firms active in your space.

“Chambers rankings give in-house counsel more confidence in practices with a lower headcount. They see it as riskier hiring smaller firms, but Chambers Spotlight helps with this.”
