Law firm celebrates high-net-worth ranking

A Hertfordshire law firm is celebrating a milestone achievement after surpassing its previous performance in the prestigious Chambers High Net Worth Guide, securing three new accolades and further cementing its reputation as a go-to legal adviser for high-net-worth individuals.

Debenhams Ottaway, a multi-service law firm headquartered in St Albans, received glowing recognition for its highly respected family law and private wealth teams.

Among the notable highlights:

• The family law team entered the UK-wide rankings for the first time.

• Natalie Lester and Rachel Hyndman were individually ranked for their exceptional work.

• Susan Glenholme and the private wealth team maintained their top-tier ranking for the ninth consecutive year.

The Chambers High Net Worth Guide is an internationally recognised benchmark that ranks the world’s leading private wealth law firms and advisers. Produced by Chambers and Partners, a leading independent legal research company operating across 200 jurisdictions, the guide is based on in-depth interviews and feedback from clients and peers.

Debenhams Ottaway has said it is proud to advise generations of families, high-net-worth individuals and business leaders across a broad range of private client matters.

Managing Partner, Susan Glenholme, said: “This is an outstanding achievement for Debenhams Ottaway. I am endlessly proud and congratulate each of the wonderful team members who have earned this accolade.
