Legal 500 top tier rankings

For 33 years, the Legal 500 legal directory has independently analysed the capabilities of law firms across the world. Its research comprises feedback from 300,000 clients worldwide, submissions from law firms, and interviews with leading private practice lawyers. The research is undertaken by a team of experts who have unrivalled experience in the legal market.

In the 2024 guide, Mourant teams based in the firm's Guernsey and Jersey offices achieved an impressive total of 18 team rankings, 13 of which are Tier 1, the top team ranking awarded by the directory.

The Mourant teams' expertise is recognised in practice areas including banking and finance, investment funds, corporate and commercial law, capital markets and dispute resolution, among others.

A source quoted in the guide commented: "From partner down to associate level you get a personal touch which is of the highest quality. Their strength is their people. I have built a longstanding relationship with Mourant and it is the people, combined with their outstanding work and knowledge, that mean I highly recommend anyone to use them."

In addition to the team rankings, Mourant Partners, Counsel and Senior Associates gained 17 prestigious individual rankings of Leading Individual, Rising Star, Next Generation Partner and Next Generation Lawyer. These professionals are recognised by Legal 500 as the leaders in their fields, with the directory's research rating them as the go-to authorities in their areas of expertise.

Mourant lawyers have also been awarded 12 highly sought-after Hall of Fame accolades in the latest guide. Those recognised in the Hall of Fame are widely regarded as being at the very top of the profession.

Mourant Global Managing Partner, Jonathan Rigby, commented: "I am delighted by this year's Legal 500 UK directory rankings. They reflect the firm's strong financial services focus and our commitment to providing clients with the highest levels of expertise and outstanding service. I am also immensely proud of our exceptional colleagues in Jersey and Guernsey who received well-deserved, individual recognition from Legal 500."
