Yes, there is no cost\nassociated with participating in the research process. Submission deadlines for\neach guide are published on the research schedule which can be found here. Any requests for extensions\nshould be discussed with the researcher for that section. We collect feedback privately with each individual. All interviews - whether with lawyers, clients, or other independent sources – should be conducted one-on-one, with no-one else present. Ensuring referees or other interviewees can feel comfortable sharing candid, objective feedback with Chambers is a fundamental principle of our research, therefore the content and matters discussed during feedback is kept private between the Chambers research team and the individual participant. Should any comments or quotes from the feedback we collect be published, all material is anonymised to keep the identity of the participant confidential.

We also take into account the feedback of\nclients, peers and other independent market sources. Yes you should. We need\nseparate submissions in addition to the country-level submissions.\nContinent-wide submissions should show work which demonstrates your firm's\ncontinental capability. The same applies to Global submissions: they should\ndemonstrate your global capability. Foreign Experts are\nlawyers based in one jurisdiction who have expertise in another jurisdiction.\nForeign Desks are groups of lawyers within a firm based in one jurisdiction who\nhave expertise in another jurisdiction. The sections we include\nare based on what clients say is most useful to them. However, we are happy to\nconsider suggestions for other practice areas. We are also interested in\ngeneral feedback regarding our research methods.\n\n If your suggestion\nrelates to a specific country or practice area, please contact the relevant\neditor. If your feedback relates to our research methods or website, please\nsend it to Rieta Ghosh.
