About Chambers Asia-Pacific
Chambers and Partners is a legal research company headquartered in London that publishes guides to law firms and lawyers across jurisdictions worldwide. Chambers Asia-Pacific is its regional guide for the Asia-Pacific region, with separate rankings for each practice area in each country, India included.
The band system: Firms and individual lawyers are placed in numbered bands, with Band 1 the highest. Chambers states that a ranking in any band is a significant achievement, and each band applies only to the practice area and jurisdiction in which it is given.
How the research is done: Rankings draw on submissions from law firms, interviews with clients and referees, and the views of other market participants, which Chambers researchers analyse for each practice area.
What researchers assess: Chambers names technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence and commitment among the qualities behind its rankings.
What the ranking recognises
A full IP practice: The Band 3 ranking covers the firm’s work across patents, trademarks, copyright, designs and domain names.
Contentious and non-contentious work: The firm handles prosecution, portfolio management and advisory work alongside oppositions, enforcement and IP litigation before courts across India.
A national and international client base: Its clients range from Indian companies, start-ups and grassroots innovators to multinational corporations and Fortune 500 companies.
Leadership: Vikrant Rana’s individual Band 3 rankings for Intellectual Property and IP: Litigation reflect the senior bench behind the practice. His Chambers editorial notes his long experience and substantial client base, and that clients regularly instruct him across a range of IP litigation.
IP protection from India to the wider region
For businesses entering or expanding in South Asia, coordinating IP protection across neighbouring countries can be as important as protection in India itself. S.S. Rana & Co. is one of the few firms in India that act as a single point of contact for IP across the SAARC region, filing in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as well as in major jurisdictions such as the United States, Europe and East Asia through its global IP practice.
The firm’s processes are certified to ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 27001:2013 for information security management, which matters to clients entrusting it with confidential inventions and brand portfolios.
