About Chambers and Partners
Chambers and Partners is an independent legal research publisher headquartered in London that has published guides to the legal profession since 1990. Chambers Asia-Pacific covers law firms and lawyers across the region, including India, by jurisdiction and practice area.
How the research works. Rankings are based on independent research, chiefly interviews with clients and with other lawyers active in the market, together with an assessment of recent work. Feedback is anonymous, and rankings are reviewed by Chambers’ senior research team rather than decided by individual researchers alone.
Inclusion cannot be bought. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the research findings, and a ranking cannot be purchased.
The band system. Ranked firms and lawyers are placed in bands from Band 1, the highest, down to Band 6. Within each band, firms and lawyers are listed alphabetically rather than in order of merit.
What the Band 3 ranking means
A Chambers ranking in any band places a firm among the practices Chambers’ researchers identify as leading in that market. S.S. Rana & Co. is ranked in the Intellectual Property table for India, which covers both contentious and non-contentious IP work.
For clients, the more useful signal is consistency: the firm has now been ranked by Chambers for IP for 14 years in a row, which reflects sustained feedback from clients and peers rather than a single strong year.

Chambers describes S.S. Rana & Co. as a well-known boutique IP firm in India, active across patents, trademarks, copyright, designs and domain names. It notes that the firm is well equipped for both contentious and non-contentious mandates, is “particularly well known for its prosecution practice”, and represents a diverse clientele of national and international corporations.
