The Lord Chamberlain's Men were a theatre group in William Shakespeare's time with whom Shakespeare acted and for whom he wrote plays. William Shakespeare was part owner of the group.

They later became the King's Men in honour of James I.

Lord Chamberlain's men was a playing company for whom Shakespeare wrote for most of his career. Richard Burbage played most of the lead roles, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, while Shakespeare himself performed some secondary roles

They were originally called The Lord Chamberlain's Men when they were formed in 1594. Many of the members of that company had previously belonged to a company called Lord Strange's Men, including Richard Burbage, Cowley, William Kempe, Sly, Phillips, Pope and Bryan. Shakespeare may possibly have been working with Pembroke's Men before 1594

They aren't, any more. The theatrical company of this name was formed in 1594, had its name changed in 1603 and was permanently disbanded in 1642, quite a long time ago.
