This year’s ranking introduces a revised methodology, assessing firms across a broader set of measures including growth, productivity and the strength of their talent base, rather than scale alone.

Commenting on the ranking, managing partner, Darren Maher, said: “We are pleased to be recognised in the first year of this new methodology. The new methodology captures how a firm is run – it is not just about scale, it is about the sectors you target, the clients you work with and how you deliver that work. We have been very deliberate on these points for a long time, and our success as a firm follows from that consistency.

“We are very grateful for the trust our clients place in us and the ongoing commitment of our colleagues across the firm. We remain focused on delivering innovative, high-quality legal advice and on creating long-term value for our clients.”
