Editors' note
We’re delighted to announce that the Legal 500 UK 2027 rankings are now live, following their publication on 30th September 2026.
The 2027 guide is the result of many months of research, covering regions across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Offshore Britain, and the London legal market. And after evaluating more than 12,000 submissions, contacting almost 180,000 referees, and conducting thousands of interviews with solicitors across the country, the results are in.
This year’s guide sees nearly 1,200 firms achieve more than 10,000 firm rankings across 600 practice areas. It also features more than 13,000 ranked solicitors, including nearly 2,000 members of the Hall of Fame, more than 6,500 Leading Partners, nearly 3,000 Next Generation Partners, and more than 2,300 Leading Associates.
