HCR Law has achieved a record 131 rankings across individuals and practice areas in the Chambers and Partners 2027 guide, with recognition across all its regions in England and Wales.

This result represents an increase of more than 42 per cent on last year and reflects our commitment to client excellence and continued strategic growth.

HCR Law, which has a branch at Overross, said its education practice achieves UK-wide recognition once again, with head of education Kristine Scott also retaining her individual UK-wide band one ranking.

The firm’s Healthcare, Immigration and Partnership teams also receive UK-wide recognition.

Joint Head of Education and Charities Team Oliver Daniels maintains his UK-wide ranking, while Adam Cotterill in our Employment, HR and Immigration team achieves a new UK-wide ranking. Simon Cheverst, who recently joined our Healthcare team, is also ranked UK-wide in Mental Health: Providers, a new specialist area of recognition for the firm.

The teams across the Midlands continue to build on their success, with a new practice area ranking for Banking and Finance and improved rankings in three areas: professional negligence; restructuring and Insolvency and planning and environment.

The West Midlands achieves Band one rankings in two practice areas: Corporate M&A (SME/Owner-managed Businesses) and Family and Matrimonial.

Rod Thomas, Managing Partner, said: “This year’s Chambers and Partners results are our strongest to date and reflect the exceptional work delivered by our people across every region and sector.

“They are particularly meaningful because they reflect feedback from clients who trust us to support them through opportunities and challenges. That trust drives our success, and we’re grateful for the relationships that make achievements like this possible.”

The 2027 results follow the release of the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide 2026 in July, which saw 25 of the firm’s Private Client lawyers recognised.
