Published annually following extensive research with clients, peers and professional advisers, the Chambers High Net Worth Guide is one of the legal profession’s most respected independent directories, recognising the world’s leading firms and lawyers advising high-net-worth individuals.
The recognition comes at a time when high-net-worth individuals and families are increasingly seeking integrated legal advice that brings together succession planning, international estate administration, family governance and philanthropy. As evolving tax regimes, cross-border considerations and changing family structures add complexity to wealth management, demand continues to grow for multidisciplinary private wealth expertise.
The latest rankings demonstrate the breadth and consistency of DMH Stallard’s private wealth offering. The firm retained its Band 4 ranking for Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth (UK-wide), recognising its expertise in advising clients on complex, high-value family matters. Its Private Client team also maintained its Band 2 ranking in Brighton and surrounds and Band 6 ranking in London, reflecting the strength of its regional and London practices and its ability to advise clients on complex wealth preservation, succession and estate planning matters.
The guide also recognises the firm’s leading lawyers. Nadia Cowdrey maintained her Band 2 ranking for Private Wealth Law in Brighton and surrounds, while Philip Morton retained his Band 4 ranking for Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth (UK-wide). A standout achievement this year is the debut ranking of London Partner Malky Chaloner, who enters the guide in Band 5 for Private Wealth Law. Her recognition reflects both the continued growth of DMH Stallard’s London private wealth practice and increasing demand for specialist advice that combines private wealth expertise with charity law, governance and philanthropy.
Lorna Fairbairn, Head of Private Client at DMH Stallard, said:
Today’s private clients are navigating increasingly complex legal and financial landscapes, from international assets and succession planning to family governance and charitable giving. They want advisers who can provide joined-up, strategic advice that reflects every aspect of their personal and family circumstances.
Achieving Leading Firm status is a fantastic endorsement of the collaborative way our teams work to support clients through every stage of wealth creation, preservation and succession. We’re especially delighted to see Malky recognised for the first time, reflecting the growing importance of specialist charity law expertise within the wider private wealth landscape.
Richard Pollins, Managing Partner at DMH Stallard, added:
This recognition reflects our continued investment in building a multidisciplinary private wealth practice that brings together expertise across private client, family law and specialist areas such as charity law. As clients’ needs become increasingly sophisticated, it’s more important than ever that they can access seamless advice from lawyers who understand the full picture.
Independent recognition from Chambers is particularly meaningful because it is based on extensive feedback from clients and the wider legal market. Maintaining our rankings while achieving Leading Firm status is a testament to the exceptional people across our business and the trusted relationships they continue to build with clients.
