How India Is Ranked

37 of 107 firms in India are ranked here, ordered by a reconciliation of 5 external publishers (Benchmark Litigation, Chambers, Law.asia, Lexology Index, The Legal 500). Each figure is the weighted mean of the best tier every publisher gave that firm, and no firm appears without at least two independent publishers agreeing. Firms with no reconciled figure are listed below the ranked ones, alphabetically, and are not ranked.

What This Ranking Does Not Rest On

  • 5 of 107 entries still rest on a Wikipedia category rather than the firm's own website
  • no court record feeds any firm's position — judgments are collected but not yet attributed to the firms that argued them
  • no firm has made a submission, because intake is not open
  • no peer or client review has been collected
