A Chambers and Partners ranking identifies excellence within the legal industry. Since 1990, the organization has published guides for the legal profession, ranking the best by independently researching companies and individuals based on qualities such as technical ability, client service, commitment, and professional conduct. Vetted litigation support companies are officially recognized annually in the definitive Chambers Guide to Litigation Support Providers. Through in-depth interviews, Chambers also provides a scale of 1 (highest) to 6 (lowest) to further distinguish the expertise of those ranked.
