Chambers and Partners 2026

Mountford Chambers is once again recognised by Chambers & Partners UK Bar 2026 as a leading set in both Crime (Band 3) and Financial Crime (Band 4).

This year, a total of 16 members are individually ranked across Crime, Financial Crime and Professional Discipline for the London Bar, including Richard Furlong recognised as a Star Individual in Financial Crime, and one member ranked in Crime (South Eastern Bar).

Mountford’s clerking team have also been praised for their outstanding dedication and responsiveness:

“The clerking team provides excellent service and support to our team. They are on-hand at all times of the day and night to help us deal with the unexpected demands of the work.“

“It is an excellent clerking team that never lets you down.“

“The clerking team is second to none for communication and its ability to recommend suitable counsel regardless of the complexities of the case.“
