Recognition in IFLR1000 Western Europe 2027 rankings

We are pleased to have received strong recognition in the latest IFLR1000 Western Europe rankings, including three new individual rankings across our European business, continued Tier 1 recognition for our Irish Capital Markets: Structured Finance and Securitisation practice and improved practice rankings in Guernsey. Overall, 31 lawyers across our Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey offices were recognised in this year's guide. 

Commenting on the results, Nicholas Blake-Knox, Ireland Managing Partner, said:

'These rankings reflect the strength and depth of our teams across Europe and the trust our clients place in us to support them on their most important and complex matters. It is particularly pleasing to see new individual recognitions in Ireland and Jersey, improved results in Guernsey and continued recognition for so many of our lawyers across the region. Congratulations to everyone recognised in this year's guide.'

In Ireland, 16 of our lawyers were recognised in this year's guide, including new rankings for Niall Esler and Donna Ager, who were both recognised as Highly Regarded practitioners for the first time. We also retained our Tier 1 ranking for Capital Markets: Structured Finance and Securitisation.
 
In Jersey, Kevin Grove received his first ranking, being recognised as a Rising Star.

Guernsey also performed strongly, with improvements across both of its ranked practice areas in this year's guide. 

Across our European business, lawyers were recognised in the Market Leader, Highly Regarded, Women Leader, Rising Star Partner, Rising Star and Notable Practitioner categories, reflecting the breadth and depth of expertise we provide to clients across our key practice areas.
