Osborne Clarke recognised in 86 practice areas in the Legal 500 2026

International legal practice Osborne Clarke has once again been recognised in the Legal 500 guide, maintaining strong results across a broad range of practice areas – from core legal services like dispute resolution through to more specialist areas such as video games. 

The firm also continues to perform strongly at Tier 1 in areas including Artificial Intelligence, Venture Capital, Media, Retail and Consumer and across its regional practices.

This year’s guide highlights Osborne Clarke UK’s expertise in 86 areas, including 29 Tier 1 rankings, and recognises 126 of our lawyers individually – both increases on last year’s results.

Notable developments include:

• New firm rankings in Financial Services (Non-Contentious/Regulatory), Corporate Governance and Media: Video Games.
• Promotions for Commercial Contracts, TMT, Fintech (Corporate and Commercial) and Intellectual Property (Patents) – all moving up to Tier 2.
• Eleven new individual rankings, including four new Leading Partners and six new Leading Associates.

“These results are a fantastic endorsement of the talent, energy and commitment of our people. With more of our lawyers recognised than ever before and progress across both new and established practice areas, this year’s guide shows the strength and momentum of Osborne Clarke. I am proud to see our work in areas like AI, Venture Capital, Tech, Media and our regional practices continue to stand out, alongside new recognition in fast-developing fields. Above all, these rankings reflect the trust that our clients place in us and the quality of advice that we deliver every day.” 

Conrad Davies, UK Managing Partner, Osborne Clarke.
