Every year, researchers carry out thousands of in-depth interviews with clients and attorneys in order to assess the reputations and expertise of business lawyers in 175 countries around the world. For the current U.S. directory, more than 14,000 interviews were conducted covering the entire country. They were carried out by a team of 40 full-time researchers over a period of six months. The 2007 edition of Chambers USA was released this month. Rankings are based on technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by the client. Editorial comment is also derived from the research, with quotations used when they sum up the prevailing opinion of the market. The top firms and top attorneys are ranked and their merits are usually described in the words of clients who were interviewed by the publication. According to Chambers, it is the weight of client interviews that gives the guides their highly valued reliability. Research into the strengths and reputations of U.S. attorneys is carried out in the same way as the research for the Chambers “Global” and “UK” guides. The methodology has been approved by the British Market Research Bureau, which audits the research annually. In-depth interviews with clients and attorneys are done over the telephone, each one lasting about half an hour.
