The 2026 edition of the highly regarded legal guide, Chambers, has been published, and Stone King is delighted to have retained Band 1 status for charity, education (schools), and criminal law.
Additionally, we are again highly ranked in the areas of education (higher and further), corporate mergers and acquisitions, employment (including for the third sector), real estate, real estate litigation, family and matrimonial, and road transport (regulatory) law.
A number of Stone King lawyers have also been named by Chambers for the outstanding work they do across the firm’s key sectors: education, charity, business and social enterprise, faith, private client, and public and regulatory.
In addition to these practice areas, 27 of our people – based across our six offices in London, Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds and Manchester – have been recognised by name for their significant contributions to their chosen area of specialisation. This includes 22 of our partners, three senior associates, one associate and one consultant.
Stone King’s CEO, Vicky Brackett, congratulated the firm. She said: “It’s incredibly rewarding to see our firm recognised in the Chambers rankings. These rankings are based solely on impartial client feedback, so it’s clear that our teams are delivering an exceptional service across a wide range of practice areas, and I’m proud to be leading a firm with such a strong reputation for excellence. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to these outstanding results.”
