Top Law Schools

Does anyone know where I can find the national rankings for chambers for the last 5 or so years? Specifically looking for tax areas. Considering a move and the firm I’m considering looks like it’d moving in the wrong direction, so just wanted to check.

There's probably an easier way to do this and I don't really endorse this as a method for assessing firms but a lot of firms put out a press release with their chambers & partners bands when it releases each year. So if you google [firm] [year] chambers & partners you can see what band they were in by finding that press release. Rinse and repeat for the five year window.

(No promise this will work)

Thanks for the tip! I tried it and unfortunately the firm only puts that it was ranked.

Also, as to your other comment, isn’t Chambers widely considered the best way to determine the quality of a practice group?

It’s an okay proxy for broad sweeping views on the group but a lot of it is simply volume of deals or litigation, etc. It’s hard to get too specific with rankings for sub-practice groups.

If your really want to find historical info, maybe try the way back machine?

I imagine they were also published in book form and law schools would have had them. Try a local law school library, or contact your Career Services Office, they might keep old editions.
