International & Cross-Border Capabilities (International Firms)

Chambers International Capability Quadrants help clients to compare the international strengths of the leading firms in their chosen jurisdiction. By plotting each firm’s strength and breadth in one specific jurisdiction against the global reach of each firm’s overseas operations, Chambers visually displays the different combinations and advantages each firm can offer in a cross-border case.

The Quadrants show which firms perform best depending on what a client is looking for, including specialised firms which excel in a particular niche (lower left), elite firms which are resourced locally but experienced internationally (upper left), firms which focus on global presence and international clients (lower right) and firms which combine all of these aspects (upper right).
