18 lawyers at Charles Russell Speechlys have been awarded new or improved accolades in the latest edition of Chambers and Partners UK, compared to 14 last year – showcasing the team’s depth and breadth and commitment to exceptional client service.

As a Firm, we maintained consistency across the board, upheld our strong ‘Band 1’ rankings across nine different categories, and sustained our ranking across 38 legal categories. In total, 72 of our lawyers were ranked in this year’s guide and we saw an uplift in the number of ‘Associates to Watch’, from six to seven. Additionally, we received five new and two improved practice area rankings.

The Chambers UK Guide 2025 is the latest edition of the annual directory compiled by Chambers & Partners. The Guide aims to provide a database of the best law firms and solicitors in the UK. The rankings are based on real interviews with client representatives and form one of the most comprehensive directories in the legal sector.

Simon Ridpath, Managing Partner, comments:

The feedback and accolades we receive as a Firm are a testament to our collaborative approach, which spans all levels, offices, divisions, and practice areas. This year, the feedback is getting better and better, and I feel proud of what the Firm and individuals have achieved as I read through all the brilliant client testimonials. Thanks, as always to our valued clients for their thoughtful and glowing remarks.
