Blake Morgan has ranked highly in the Legal 500 UK 2026 Guide for another year – with 53 of the firm’s practice areas and 84 of its lawyers included across all six of its offices.
Blake Morgan received prestigious Top Tier rankings for 22 practice areas, recognising the firm’s excellent advice and client service. These were in corporate and commercial, public sector, dispute resolution – including debt recovery, professional discipline and commercial litigation, private client, employment, finance, technology media and telecoms, and real estate – encompassing commercial property, construction, social housing, and property litigation.
A number of testimonials in the Guide highlight the firm’s place as a leader in these areas:
They are commercial, pragmatic and have aligned themselves with our values and vision. They are great team players.
I was particularly impressed with their ability to deliver effective and pragmatic advice ensuring that the deal completed within the agreed timescales and it meant that I had confidence that all of the important legal aspects of the deal were being dealt with effectively. I would happily recommend Blake Morgan to others.
They are solutions focused.
Meanwhile, a further 24 practice areas secured Tier 2 or Tier 3 rankings again this year – underlining the firm’s consistency in areas including public sector healthcare, education, travel, banking and finance, and charities & not-for-profit. Further praise for Blake Morgan included:
The team at Blake Morgan were consummate professionals who demonstrated strong commercial awareness of the travel industry that ensured the transaction was efficient and completed against a tight deadline.
Customer service consistently exceeds expectations. BM are a trusted partner who have supported our team over time.
A number of practice areas have risen up in their respective rankings, including enhanced recognition of the team’s London-based commercial litigation and planning practices, and new rankings in four other areas for the London office, reflecting the firm’s growing strength and expertise in the city. In Wales, the firm’s expertise in the charities and not-for-profit sector is highlighted by its improved Tier 2 ranking.
The high calibre of the individuals advising clients was also recognised in the latest rankings. Colleagues at Blake Morgan received 84 individual rankings in this year’s Legal 500 Guide – an increase from last year’s rankings.
An outstanding 10 lawyers were placed in the prestigious ‘Hall of Fame’ list, which highlights partners that the Guide describes as being “at the pinnacle of the profession”, whilst a further 26 individuals were ranked as ‘Leading Partners’.
The Guide also identified an impressive 20 lawyers as ‘Leading Associates’, in recognition of the quality of their work and the praise they received from clients and peers this year, with a promising future for those rising up the ranks at the firm as 20 individuals were named ‘Next Generation Partners’.
In a sign of more success to come, nine lawyers achieved a ranking this year that were not included in last year’s Legal 500 Guide. Several of these individuals are new to Blake Morgan, reflecting the positive hires made by the firm in recent years.
Chair of Blake Morgan, Helen Bunker, said:
It’s one of the privileges as Chair to be the bearer of good news – and with that I’m proud to share that it has been another excellent year for my talented colleagues at Blake Morgan as they are recognised in the independent and industry-leading Legal 500 2026 Guide.
Many congratulations to them all. Guides and rankings don’t define our value as a firm – but it’s always a pleasure to see so many client testimonials sharing positive feedback on the outstanding work we deliver across practice areas and our UK offices. In particular, I’m pleased to report increases in both the number of individuals ranked this year, and partners recognised in the prestigious ‘Hall of Fame’ list.
Preparing directory submissions takes time and an enormous amount of hard work, so I’d also like to thank the team that works tirelessly behind-the-scenes to shine a light on our joint success and make this possible.
