We’re proud to announce that Markel Law’s Crime and Regulatory Team has been nationally ranked in the prestigious Chambers and Partners UK Bar Guide 2026 for our work in Professional Discipline. Marking a significant milestone that reflects the depth, complexity, and volume of cases the team has expertly handled.
This recognition follows closely on the heels of our success in the Legal 500 rankings and reinforces our growing reputation for defending professionals in both criminal proceedings and before their regulatory bodies.
