We are pleased to share that Kennedys has once again been recognised as one of the UK's leading law firms in the 2026 edition of The Legal 500 UK guide.

This year’s rankings underline the breadth of our expertise across the full range of our practice, from insurance and reinsurance, clinical and professional negligence and commercial litigation, through to construction, employment, healthcare, finance, real estate, environment, personal injury, and transport and travel.

Kennedys has been ranked in 40 practice areas, including 15 Tier 1 rankings.

We are also proud to see the achievements of so many of our lawyers recognised individually:

8 lawyers named in the elite Hall of Fame
33 recognised as Leading Partners
11 identified as Next Generation Partners
19 ranked as Leading Associates

These results demonstrate both the strength and depth of our people, and the value they deliver to our clients across industries and regions.

The Legal 500 rankings are based on comprehensive independent research, which includes law firm submissions as well as feedback from thousands of clients. The recognition we have received reflects not only the quality of our legal expertise but also the trusted relationships we build with our clients.

We are proud to see so many of our practice areas and lawyers recognised once again in this year’s guide, and we remain committed to delivering the very best legal services to our clients.
