Chambers, a ranking shaped by clients
Based in London, Chambers and Partners publishes lawyer rankings covering some 200 jurisdictions. Its High Net Worth guide identifies the leading advisers to private clients. Its methodology relies on a team of around 330 researchers, who review the submissions received and interview clients and peers.
Within each practice area, lawyers are then grouped into bands from 1 to 7, Band 1 being the highest level. A Chambers Band 1 ranking places a lawyer at the top level of practice in their field.
