Research Analysts on Chambers Insight are assigned a law firm’s report to write and must use the data provided by research to draw sensible conclusions about what the reasons for the firm and its lawyers’ rankings were. They write 200/400 words of compelling copy in every chapter of their report, with the aim of answering all of a firm’s potential questions about the rankings.

Part of their training involves learning how to write the most sophisticated CMI reports, which include an analysis of the entire market, including a comparison to competitor firms. They take ownership of each report assigned to them and regularly discuss their work with their Manager.
