Piers Master comments: 

We are delighted to announce another outstanding year of results in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide. Our results have been consistently strong year on year and 2026 is no different, with uplifts across several legal practice categories and a record number of 11 Band 1 rankings. We are particularly pleased to have achieved eight new or improved rankings across our Asia offices this year, reflecting the strength and depth of our international private capital offering.

Our recent expansion into the US, with the opening of offices in New York and New Haven, Connecticut, is another exciting step forward for us and further reinforces our commitment to being the advisers of choice for global clients: families, entrepreneurs and private capital owners whose lives and aspirations span multiple jurisdictions.

William Marriott adds:

This is a fantastic set of results. The feedback received this year highlights the value clients place on our international capabilities, deep technical expertise and commercial approach, as well as our ability to deliver responsive, pragmatic advice on complex cross-border matters. None of this would be possible without the work and commitment of our private wealth teams and the continued confidence and trust our clients place in us. We are truly grateful to our clients, many of whom have been with us for a number of years and look forward to working alongside them for years to come.
