Chambers Canada 2024 Research Schedule

We are delighted to announce that the Chambers Canada 2024 research schedule is now available online. Users can also create a bespoke, downloadable schedule by clicking through the relevant checkboxes and then clicking ‘Download schedule’.   

As in previous years, template documents can be found on our website and can be uploaded via the site’s My Account page. If you need new login details, to be reminded of old ones, or update relevant contacts, please email [email protected].  

This year, there are a few important updates and announcements, so please read the following carefully. 

Following feedback and a consultation process with a number of firms, we are removing combined submissions in the following areas**: 

**The previously merged Banking & Finance submission will still cover both the traditional Banking & Finance and the Financial Services Regulation tables, and the Insurance submission will still cover both the Dispute Resolution and Transactional & Regulatory tables. 

For the following research period we will increase the maximum allowable number of referees to 30. While firms are free to allocate these extra referees however they wish, we hope that the 10 additional referees present an increased opportunity for women lawyers and attorneys at the more junior end of their careers to list referees for their practice. 

This year, we will no longer accept referees for the following four Nationwide practice areas.  

Instead, we will use referee feedback from the Province research across Canada as part of the Nationwide research, alongside supplementary research calls with a select number of firms. This decision was taken to alleviate referee fatigue and to avoid referees having to duplicate their feedback between the Provincial and Nationwide research.  

This year, in a select number of practice area submissions, we will allow up to 25 work highlights. This is a pilot project and only applies to the following submission areas: 

If they wish to do so, firms can provide additional work highlights by adjusting the template document. These areas were identified as those which feature the most attorneys seeking rankings, where the current restriction of 20 work highlights would be most impactful – so we will trial whether an increased limit of 25 work highlights helps to alleviate any constraints.
