Harrogate-based Raworths has once again been recognised in two of the UK's leading legal guides.
In the Chambers UK Guide 2026, Raworths has maintained Band 1 rankings for its Corporate and Commercial, Employment and Family teams.
Other practice areas recognised include Dispute Resolution, Property Litigation, Commercial Property and Agriculture & Rural.
The firm’s Trusts, Wills and Estates (TWE) team also retained its Band 1 ranking in the Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide, which is aimed at the international private wealth market and was published earlier this year.
In total, 14 lawyers have been ranked across both the Chambers UK and Chambers HNW guides - representing half of the firm’s lawyers.
Managing Partner, Simon Morris, has been awarded ‘Eminent Practitioner’ status.
This distinction is reserved for highly respected lawyers who, while focusing on strategic and client relationship roles, continue to play an instrumental part in guiding their teams.
Raworths has also maintained its strong position in the Legal 500 UK Guide 2026, published at the start of October.
All practice areas were highlighted, including the TWE team retaining its top tier Band 1 ranking, with 19 individual lawyers named in the guide.
Among those recognised, several were mentioned for their specialist expertise, including Matthew Hill (Head of Commercial Client Services and Head of Dispute Resolution), Carmelita Ardren (Head of Family), Rachel Tunnicliffe (Senior Partner and Head of Private Client Services), and Alison Walker and Sam Jenner (both Partners and joint Heads of TWE).
Simon Morris, Managing Partner at Raworths said:
“These results - with multiple Band 1 rankings and so many individual acknowledgements – are a tremendous endorsement of the hard work, expertise and commitment shown by everyone at Raworths.
“The rankings are based on rigorous independent research and client feedback, which makes the recognition even more meaningful as it reflects the trust and confidence our clients place in us.
“We have built a firm that combines outstanding technical capability with genuine collaboration between our commercial and private client teams.
“This integrated approach allows us to deliver a seamless service that supports businesses, individuals and families across generations.
“The strength and consistency of our results this year reinforce that philosophy and the depth of talent we have across the firm.”
Raworths provides integrated commercial and private client services and employs more than 70 people at its Harrogate office.
Both the Chambers UK and Legal 500 UK Guides are drawn from extensive independent research with clients and professional contacts.
