Mountford Chambers is delighted to once again be recognised as a leading set in the Chambers and Partners UK Bar Guide 2027, achieving rankings in Crime (Band 3), Financial Crime (Band 4) and Crime – South Eastern Bar (Band 3).

This year, 18 members have received individual rankings across Crime, Financial Crime and Professional Discipline for the London Bar, with Richard Furlong once again recognised as a Star Individual in Financial Crime.

“Ben Heaviside has done incredibly well with Mountford and is a star of the clerking world.”

“The clerks are always extremely helpful and responsive; they proactively keep me updated and all seem to know every case incredibly well. Emails are responded to promptly, regardless of who you speak to.”
