Top 3 Legal Acquisition

Chambers and Partners (Chambers), the worlds leading provider of legal research and analysis, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Top 3 Legal.

Top 3 Legal is an emerging online platform that assists businesses in managing their relationships with external lawyers and law firms. Top 3 Legal allows in-house legal departments to access live information from their colleagues and peers from other organisations to help them identify the external counsel that is right for a particular project. In addition, Top 3 Legal enables in-house legal teams to use a simple and collaborative interface called a Team Sheet to manage their private network of external lawyers and law firms.

The acquisition represents a great opportunity for Chambers to further enhance its market leading position by integrating the Top 3 Legal platform into its existing product portfolio, as part of its digital growth strategy. It will also be key to their ongoing aim of delivering the most relevant and useful products and services to the global legal profession. The founders of Top 3 Legal, Gareth Stephenson and Richard Fleetwood will join Chambers as part of the leadership team following the acquisition.

Chambers are delighted to have Top 3 Legal as part of our portfolio, and in-house teams greatly value the services provided by the Team Sheets. The combination of Chambers and Top 3 Legal will create the de facto source of research and analysis for corporates in choosing legal advice and representation. I look forward to working with Gareth, Richard and the Top 3 Legal team.
