Chip repeatedly has been recognized as a "Future Leader" by Who’s Who Legal: Arbitration (2017-2022), which focuses on selecting outstanding attorneys aged 45 or under. In its 2022 edition, Chip was named one of the 8 "Most Highly Regarded" non-partners in the Americas. Published client and peer interviews confirmed that Chip "has an ambitious outlook and works hard to win and deliver results for his clients," and is commended for his “intellect and original approach to arbitration issues" as well as his "encyclopaedic knowledge of investor-state disputes." In its 2021 edition, Chip was described as a “very talented, collaborative and responsive lawyer” who is considered to be “a true heavyweight in the arbitration arena” thanks to his “remarkable experience in international investment disputes.” In its 2019 edition, he was recognized as "'a brilliant writer and tactician' who peers note 'really gets it' when it comes to complex arbitration proceedings and is 'one to watch.'"
