We have once again achieved strong results in the 2026 edition of the Chambers Global, with sustained Band 1 recognition across our core practices and continued momentum in key jurisdictions worldwide.

The 2026 rankings reflect consistent top-tier performance across Global Multi-Jurisdictional: Offshore, Asia-Pacific Offshore and Offshore in the United Arab Emirates. We also retained Band 1 Foreign Expert recognition in the UK for offshore Bermudian, British Virgin Islands (BVI) and Cayman Islands law, alongside Band 1 positions across all ranked practice areas in the Cayman Islands and continued Band 1 recognition for Corporate & Finance and Dispute Resolution in the BVI.

Alongside this consistency, the latest results show meaningful progress in several priority markets. We achieved new or improved firm rankings in Jersey, Bermuda and Guernsey, including new Band 1 recognition for Corporate & Finance in both Jersey and Bermuda, and an uplift to Band 1 for Guernsey Dispute Resolution. Our Ireland offering also continued to strengthen, with improved rankings in Investment Funds and a new ranking in Corporate/M&A.

Individual recognition across the firm further reflects this momentum. Of our 96 individual lawyer rankings globally, 34 lawyers were newly ranked or achieved an uplift this year, highlighting progression across jurisdictions and career stages and reinforcing the depth of our teams supporting complex, cross-border matters.

Ingrid Pierce, Global Managing Partner, said: ‘What matters most to us is that clients know they can rely on our teams wherever they are working. These results reflect that consistency: strong core practices, bench strength and teams who understand what clients need across multiple jurisdictions.’

She added: ‘Our focus hasn’t changed. We’re here to give clear, practical advice and help clients move forward with confidence. It’s reassuring to see that reflected so clearly in this year’s results.’

Chambers Global rankings are based on in-depth research, analysis and interviews with clients and peers across more than 200 jurisdictions worldwide.
