Chambers has been researching the France and German markets since the year 2000.  

In response to the recent new developments that are shaping these markets, we are now creating two new jurisdiction-focused guides.   

The creation of the new guides comes with plans for delving deeper into the dynamics that shape the French and German legal markets resulting in more opportunities for firms and lawyers, and greater insight for buyers of legal services to find the right talent for their needs.

Highlight legal talent across the markets

With this deliberate focus, we will make certain that we capture and highlight legal talent in these markets in the most accurate way.

Greater ranking opportunities

Law firms and lawyers will have even greater opportunities to showcase their expertise in different practice areas and connect with a broader audience of in-house counsel.

Greater insight for buyers of legal services

We are able to offer greater insight for legal buyers looking for more options and local expertise.
