Our vision for Chambers Spotlight starts in the USA, the world’s largest legal market. By diving deeper into the legal talent on offer at a city-based level in states across the US, we’ve been able to identify smaller firms that can offer go-to counsel for legal buyers looking for more options and local expertise. 

Building on the decades of knowledge we’ve built up researching the world’s most outstanding law firms, Chambers is now shining a light on the best small and medium-sized firms in specific regions.

Where Chambers USA focuses on the top end of the legal market, ranking regional, national, and international law firm departments and individual attorneys; Chambers Spotlight highlights middle and lower-mid market firms. Our Spotlight rankings are awarded at firm-wide level, recognizing firms that are well-known for their expertise in certain selected practice areas. 

The firms ranked in the USA Spotlight Guide were selected based on independent and in-depth market analysis, coupled with an assessment of their experience, expertise and caliber of talent. Our conclusions were supported by comparative analysis drawing on our decades of knowledge of the US legal market.
