Why is Chambers asking for Diversity statistics in the submissions?

Diversity & Inclusion continues to be a key business priority for Chambers and remains an important topic raised during our conversations with in-house counsel. By including this information, we will be assisting the legal profession on its inclusion journey and providing in-house counsel with the information they have been requesting. Our request for diversity statistics will help us better understand the profession, provide context to our rankings and drive change.
