Submissions give us information that we use to analyse legal markets and produce our rankings. A submission includes information about the legal matters handled by a department, firm or set over the review period. It also details the key members of a particular department, firm or set and the key clients they represent. In short, it is your chance to demonstrate why your firm or set should be ranked. There are two alternative ways of submitting to Chambers. You can submit by downloading and completing our submission template and referee spreadsheet, found here. We have also recently introduced a new online submission option. This is a digital platform which allows you to create, update and submit via MyAccount. Both ways of submitting ensure that you provide us with the information we need and allow us to process the information quickly.

This allows us to learn what makes your firm stand out in the market. The referee spreadsheet can be found here. Please include no more than 20 referees per practice area unless you are submitting to Chambers USA, Canada or Chambers UK Bar. Our Chambers USA and Chambers Canada referee limit is now 30 per practice area. The UK Bar remains five referees per individual barrister per practice area.

Making a submission\nincreases the chances of you being ranked. How to upload your submission documents The changes will take effect immediately. We recommend providing a contact for arranging interviews. This person should be someone our research team can get in contact with if they would like to speak to some lawyers from the team to gather more information about your department and your team’s feedback on our rankings. Work highlights allow you to add information about legal matters this department, firm or set has advised on over the review period. Work highlights include a description of the nature of the legal work, the team members from the relevant department(s) involved, and other organisations advising on the matter. The idea of work highlights is to communicate to Chambers what the relevant team did and why it was significant. Work highlights can be submitted as publishable or confidential.
