Overview Directories & Rankings Deadlines

Frequently searched submission deadlines in detail

The table above lists all 209 deadlines. Below are the rankings people search for most specifically.

Chambers submission deadlines: why there is not one date

Anyone searching for Chambers submission deadlines is usually looking for a single date — and there is none. Chambers puts it plainly: "Deadlines are dependent on practice area and location, all of which can be found in our research schedule." Every guide runs on its own calendar, and inside a guide each jurisdiction and each practice area has its own date.

In practice that means Chambers Europe closes for Austria and Switzerland on a different day from Chambers Germany, while Chambers UK, Chambers USA, Chambers High Net Worth and Chambers FinTech each run in their own waves. The table above carries every one of those dates by country and practice area and is kept current — filter it by your jurisdiction.

Legal 500 submission deadlines: one date per edition

Legal 500 submission deadlines work the same way, only more simply: Legal 500 states "We publish over 10 different editions, and each has its own deadline." So there is exactly one date per edition — for Legal 500 EMEA, Legal 500 Deutschland, Legal 500 UK, Legal 500 US, Legal 500 US States, Legal 500 Asia Pacific, Legal 500 Latin America and the rest.

Two things are routinely missed. The client referee deadline usually falls on the same day as the submission itself, so the referee list has to be finished rather than filed later. And individual markets carry their own dates — the Nordics within EMEA, for example. The table above shows both dates per country.

IAM Patent 1000 submission deadline 2027

The submission deadline for IAM Patent 1000 2027 is 14 September 2026. It applies worldwide, identically across all jurisdictions — from Argentina and Germany to Japan and Sweden. Firms that want to be considered for the 2027 edition must file by that date; there is no late submission window.

IP STARS submission deadline 2027

The submission deadline for IP STARS 2027 is 31 October 2026, again identical across all jurisdictions. IP STARS is published by Managing IP and assesses patent and trademark practice separately.
