Chambers USA 2018: Schedule Released

Chambers & Partners has announced its US directory research schedule for 2017-18.

Key things for legal marketers to note:

Schedule Changes

  • The Chambers USA 2018 research schedule is now online
  • Most of the deadlines remain the same from last year, but Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota are among the states with changed deadlines from last year

New Sections

  • Illinois: Litigation: Securities
  • Arizona: Native American Law

Submission Template

  • You must use the official Chambers template
  • The template has not changed since the last version was released in Spring 2016

Matter Confidentiality

  • Every matter should be placed in either the publishable (green color) or confidential (red) section
  • Don’t confuse things by having matters that are part confidential
  • It’s best to put them entirely in the red section if any part of the entry is non-publishable
  • Both the publishable and confidential sections allow ten clients and ten work highlights each
  • If you do not have an even 10/10 split between publishable and confidential, you may delete/replace entries from either as long as you don’t exceed 20 overall

Client List

  • Do not exceed 10 names in either the publishable or confidential section

Client References

  • Chambers will accept a maximum of 20 per submission
  • Use the official Chambers spreadsheet template
  • Don’t alter the template
  • Leave columns blank rather than deleting

Extensions

  • Chambers will not grant extensions for late submissions
  • Chambers will accept late submissions but cannot guarantee that those which arrive after the deadline will receive the same level of attention
  • Don’t ask researchers for deadline extensions, just submit your materials as soon as possible

Uploading Submissions

  • Use the Chambers online system
  • Don’t email documents directly to researchers

Submission Guidelines

  • Full guidelines available on the Chambers website

Firm Changes
