Zim’s top lawyers ranked
The Chambers Global Guide (CGG) which ranks top attorneys and law firms across the world recently named Zimbabwe's top commercial lawyers for 2021 and these include Edwin Manikai, Sternford Moyo, Addington Chinake, Peter C Lloyd and Sue Brighton.
The Chambers Global Guide carries out this precise procedure in over 200 jurisdictions across the world.
The rankings are based on the in-depth research of its dedicated and experienced team of researchers. Often referred to as 'the goldstandard', Chambers delivers insight and analysis on the global legal profession that is unrivalled in its reach and depth. But how do they carry out the rankings?
Below is the detailed methodology as explained by CGG.
Our independent research collects information about organisations, individuals and the marketplace.
Making a submission
•
What are submissions and why provide one? Submissions are sets of information provided by law firms and lawyers concerning a specific practice area. They present an opportunity to demonstrate why your firm should be ranked in Chambers.
Chambers provides submission templates which you can download here. Using the Chambers template will guide you through all the relevant information we use to conduct our research and is completely confidential.
•
Who can submit and when?
Chambers identifies the best law firms globally, whether they are multi-national or boutique and submissions are open to any practicing law firm. There is no charge to submit.
We have a set of annual submission deadlines for each practice area within our guides, which can be found here.
•
How to make a submission
There is no ''secret formula'' to writing a good submission.
We simply want a clear summary of the most significant facts about your practice such as: Size of the team, key partners and individuals, key clients, work highlights during the past 12 months, industry expertise and areas of recent growth
When used in conjunction with other sources, this information supports the research process in determining whether a firm or individual should be ranked within our guides.
•
Providing client referees
We also require a list of referees, whom we may interview. A referee is usually a client, although it can be anyone who has experience and knowledge of your firm in that practice area over the preceding 12 months.
Providing referees allows us to gather feedback on your practice.
We use these interviews to understand the views and experiences of your clients and this helps to inform our decisions about the rankings.
Anonymity is a fundamental principle of our research interviews and the identity of interviewees will never be revealed.
