Introducing the new Head of Canada Research at Chambers
James Roberts shares his thoughts on his new position and highlights his career at Chambers below.
My name is James Roberts and I am taking over as the new Head of Canada Research, replacing the outgoing Joanna Lane, who has overseen the Canada Guide since 2014. I joined Chambers & Partners in 2016 as a research analyst on the UK/US team and have been a Research Manager on the UK Solicitors Guide since 2018. My core areas of expertise over that period include Energy & Natural Resources, Mining and Construction.
I am delighted to be taking over from Jo, who has done a fantastic job of running the guide for a number of years now, and am really looking forward to building on her excellent work and continuing to grow and develop our research of the Canadian market in new and exciting ways.
During my time on the UK Solicitors team, I took a keen interest in utilising the vast data reserves Chambers & Partners has access to in order to manage resources efficiently and enhance our coverage of the legal market. I'm excited about the prospect of bringing this expertise to bear on the Canada Guide in order to ensure that our rankings continue to accurately recognise the best law firms and lawyers in the region and are dynamic enough to reflect changes in the various regions and practice areas that we cover.
