Chambers conducts in-depth research and interviews with clients and attorneys throughout the United States to identify the top lawyers in various practice areas. For the 2010 edition of Chambers USA, interviews were conducted nationally in which clients and participating attorneys were asked to rank law firms and individual attorneys in specific specialty areas. The qualities on which rankings were assessed included technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by clients. Chambers selects sources based on submissions put forward by legal practices and interviews during the course of research, as well as from their own database resources.
