The Chambers Latin America rankings are based on extensive research conducted by Chambers and Partners Legal Publishers, a highly respected English publisher of renowned directories assessing and ranking the world’s leading lawyers. Unlike other publishers that allow firms to purchase a mention or ranking, the Chambers and Partners listings are based solely on outside evaluations of merit. Its researchers investigate law firms and lawyers in the region through an exhaustive process of interviewing clients and competitors in major practices of business law.
