We achieved strong results in the 2026 edition of the Chambers Europe guide, with our Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey offices recognised across a broad range of core practice areas. The latest rankings underline the strength, depth and continued momentum of our European platform, as we celebrate 25 years of advising clients from Europe.

The guide includes 15 ranked practice groups and 36 individually ranked lawyers, reflecting sustained client confidence and our consistent delivery of high quality advice across jurisdictions.

In the 2026 guide, Guernsey Dispute Resolution and Jersey Corporate & Finance advanced into the top-tier, alongside further practice level promotions across our European platform, including Jersey Investment Funds, Jersey Trusts and Ireland Investment Funds. In Ireland, Corporate/M&A was ranked for the first time, marking an important milestone in the continued expansion and diversification of our offering.

Individual recognition featured strongly across all three jurisdictions. Six of our lawyers were newly ranked, while six individuals achieved a promotion, highlighting progression across career stages and reinforcing the depth of talent across our firm. We also retained a number of senior individual rankings, including multiple lawyers recognised at the top of their categories, alongside continued recognition for emerging practitioners.

Fraser Hern, Head of Channel Islands, said:

‘These results reflect the continued investment we are making across our European practice and the strength of our teams in Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey. Achieving this recognition as we mark 25 years in Europe is particularly significant. The combination of new rankings, promotions and sustained top tier recognition speaks to the quality of work we deliver for our clients and the depth of expertise we have built across the platform.’

This recognition follows strong performances in the Legal 500 UK 2026 guide and the Chambers Global 2026 guide, which highlighted continued excellence across our Guernsey, Jersey, London and Ireland offices.
