Chambers 2026 Rankings Released

We’re pleased to share that the firm has once again been recognised in the Chambers European rankings, with 7 practice areas and 13 of our lawyers ranked this year.

In addition to our achievements in the European Guide, our Dispute Resolution team is also ranked in the Chambers and Partners Global Guide, with individual recognition for Ken Casey and Joe O’Malley.

We congratulate all those recognised, and in particular those newly ranked and those whose rankings have progressed this year. We also thank our clients for their continued confidence in our work.

These results reflect the quality of work delivered across the firm and, importantly, the trust our clients place in us. They are built on the collective effort of our teams and the consistent focus on delivering practical, high-quality advice.
