Chambers USA Announces New Deadline for 2021 Guide to Top Lawyers and Law Firms

Chambers and Partners has announced that it will delay the start of research for Chambers USA 2021 edition due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The deadline for submissions for the annual guide to top law firms and lawyers covering practice areas on a state and national level is also being extended.

Poston Communications, which has extensive experience preparing successful Chambers submissions for international, national and mid-market law firms in a variety of practice areas, recommends that legal marketers interested in possible inclusion in the Chambers 2021 editions review this list of changes and mark their calendars for preparation of the time-consuming process of a Chambers submission.

Chambers Editor-in-Chief Rieta Ghosh explained the impact of the global health crisis in a March 26 email. “We appreciate the complexities being caused by COVID-19 and are working closely with firms and referees during these unprecedented times,” Ghosh said. “We are also sensitive to the issues that many firms and businesses are facing and will continue to be flexible wherever possible.” Chambers’ website has an FAQ with additional information on its research.
