Blake Morgan has secured another strong set of results in The Legal 500 UK, with 23 Tier 1 rankings in the 2027 Guide.
In total, 52 of the firm’s practice areas were ranked, including leading practices in dispute resolution, corporate and commercial, employment, finance, public sector and real estate.
Several testimonials in the Guide highlight the firm’s place as a leader in these areas:
I feel that we have a legal partner on our side, not just a legal firm. The difference makes all the difference.
The team combines strong technical capability with a practical and commercial approach. Advice is clear, focused on outcomes, and tailored to the needs of the business rather than being overly theoretical.
The results also include 21 Tier 2 or Tier 3 rankings, reflecting the breadth of the firm’s work across areas such as public sector healthcare, travel, charities and not-for-profit, and private client.
Further praise for Blake Morgan included:
The team at Blake Morgan is very good at listening to client needs, identifying solutions, and clearly laying out the options. They are adaptable and creative in their work to meet our evolving needs.
Very commercially minded and have invested a lot in the relationship with our business as we grow.
There was notable progress across several practice areas which rose up in their respective rankings or entered for the first time. Corporate and commercial in Hampshire climbed from Tier 2 to Tier 1, while employment in Hampshire rose from Tier 3 to Tier 2 and insolvency and corporate recovery in the South East moved from Tier 4 to Tier 3. Equity capital markets: small-mid cap in London also entered the rankings for the first time at Tier 4 and EU and competition law was also newly ranked.
The 2027 Guide also recognised 78 Blake Morgan lawyers across 85 individual ranking entries.
Among those recognised, 11 lawyers were included in the prestigious ‘Hall of Fame’ list and 30 were named ‘Leading Partners’. A further 22 lawyers were recognised as ‘Leading Associates’, while 17 were named ‘Next Generation Partners’.
The results reflect the depth of established expertise across the firm, alongside the continued development and recognition of emerging leaders in their respective fields.
Chair of Blake Morgan, Helen Bunker, said:
The publication of the Legal 500 Guide has become a real opportunity to celebrate the achievements of colleagues across Blake Morgan, and this year is no exception.
To achieve such excellent results across both our practice-area and individual rankings is a source of great pride. The breadth of recognition reflects the depth of expertise across the firm, as well as the continued development of our work in a wide range of fields. We are always grateful to our clients for taking the time to provide feedback to researchers about their experience of working with Blake Morgan. We know Legal 500 continues to be a trusted source of market insight and appreciate the effort that goes into the research and submissions every year.
I would like to congratulate all the lawyers recognised in this year’s Guide, and in particular the 11 colleagues included in the prestigious ‘Hall of Fame’. Their achievements, alongside those of our Leading Partners, Leading Associates and Next Generation Partners, demonstrate the strength of talent across Blake Morgan.
