WILLEMSTAD, Curacao:--- International legal publisher Chambers & Partners has launched the 2014 edition of Chambers Global; its annual worldwide ranking of law firms and individual lawyers. These rankings are based on credentials and provide insight for potential buyers of legal services. In the 2014 edition, six Curacao law firms are honored with a ranking. Like last year, VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne and Spigt Dutch Caribbean lead the pack with a Band 1 ranking.
