Chambers Global Top 30 2015 – Clifford Chance ranked No.1

For the second year in succession, Clifford Chance has been named the number one law firm in the Chambers Global Top 30.

Rieta Ghosh, Global Editorial Director at Chambers & Partners said: "The Chambers Global Top 30 recognises the very best global law firms. This year, Clifford Chance has once again topped the table, which is based on an analysis of rankings attained in each jurisdiction covered by Chambers Global 2015. In-house counsel consistently endorsed Clifford Chance for its high-quality legal advice and its ability to staff major cross border matters with ease."

Clifford Chance highlights from Chambers Global 2015 include:

• More Band 1 rankings than any other firm in all tables in Chambers Global 2015.
  
• More Band 1 rankings than any other firm in the Global-wide tables, which compare firms' experience across several regions in important practices and sectors where clients require international experience.
  
• More Star and Band 1 (combined) lawyers than any other firm.
  
• More up and coming lawyers than any other firm.

Commenting on the rankings, Clifford Chance Managing Partner Matthew Layton said: "Once again, we received recognition with high rankings for the Firm and for individual partners. We are delighted with this endorsement as we continue to move towards our ambition of being the global law firm of choice for the world's leading businesses of today and tomorrow."

Clifford Chance achieved 119 Band 1 ‘leading law firm’ rankings, the highest number scored by any firm featured in the guide. The firm also achieved the highest number of top-ranked lawyers of any firm, with a total of 109 combined Star and Band 1 ‘leading individuals’ rankings. As one client comments: “Clifford Chance lives up to its reputation; the lawyers are hard-working, technically skilled, and a pleasure to work with."

Our position is based on our performance across practice areas and locations, as well as rankings for individual lawyers. The analysis for the top 30 takes into account the prominence of each practice area in a given market. Another client said: "Clifford Chance has both strength and depth, and enormous capacity to refer to and rely on well-informed precedent."

Chambers Global 2015 is a global directory released last week that offers client-based insights into firms and lawyers practising internationally. The Top 30 features the law firms with the best rankings from the guide.
