In 2009, a number of our law firm members brought the new Chamber UK guidelines to the Forum’s attention. To understand the market reaction, the Forum put together a survey in early November 2009 to assess the impact of the changes. Over 260 members responded, including 17 managing partners, with 74% of respondents responsible for completing directory submissions. It was clear that our members are highly critical of the new deadlines.
We subsequently sent an open letter to Chambers summarising the findings. Chambers sent us a formal statement with Managing Editor, Catherine McGregor, indicating that she is happy to answer any further questions from PM Forum members, either directly or through PM Forum HQ. Her contact details are CatherineM@chambersandpartners.co.uk or +020 7778 1663.
A pdf of the correspondence which includes a summary of the survey findings can be downloaded here.
