Disputes Services 2026

Editors' note

We’re delighted to announce that the Legal 500 Disputes Services rankings are now live.

This inaugural guide is the result of months of rigorous research covering the specialist providers that support complex litigation, arbitration, and investigations across a range of jurisdictions. After evaluating submissions from leading firms, conducting extensive interviews with providers and their clients, and gathering market intelligence, the results are in.

This year, we have featured more than 175 unique firms that have achieved over 250 rankings across 15 practice areas – from eDiscovery and forensic accounting to litigation funding, asset tracing, business intelligence, and strategic communications. We have also identified and recommended more than 500 individual practitioners in our editorial coverage.
