Baker & Partners becomes Jersey’s sole disputes-only law firm ranked Band 1 in Chambers & Partners

Baker & Partners has been awarded Band 1 for Offshore Dispute Resolution in Jersey in the Chambers & Partners 2027 directory.

Baker & Partners is the only firm with no corporate legal department or trust company to be included in the top tier for Jersey. The firm advises private clients, companies, and government and regulatory bodies on their most complex disputes.

A client of the firm quoted in the guide said:

“The principal strength of Baker & Partners lies in their ability to combine deep technical legal expertise with a highly pragmatic approach to complex and sensitive matters.
A distinguishing feature is their ability to translate complex legal risk into actionable, operational advice.”

Another added:

“Baker & Partners’ commerciality is a key distinguishing factor.  They are not only excellent lawyers but they make a real effort to learn about the client’s business and provide business-savvy advice.”

After being ranked in the Chambers & Partners directory for the first time last year as Up and Coming, Amy Benest has moved up to Band 3 for 2027. Maintaining their rankings, William Redgrave is ranked Band 1, Simon Thomas is ranked Band 2, and Lynne Gregory and Jared Dann are ranked Band 3.  Global Managing Partner Stephen Baker maintains his Eminent Practitioner ranking, a distinction reserved for those recognised as figureheads in their field. He is one of only two Eminent Practitioners in Jersey and in the Channel Islands.

Global Managing Partner Stephen Baker said:  
“Demand for conflict-free, high-quality legal representation continues to grow. This ranking recognises the importance of independence and the work of a team handling some of the most interesting and significant cases to involve Jersey. Congratulations to all of the Jersey team for this excellent result. Thank you to our clients for your feedback and for continuing to trust us with your matters.”

This news comes just a few weeks after the appointment of longstanding Crown Advocate Matthew Maletroit to the partnership in Jersey.

This is the first year Baker & Partners has ranked in Band 1 in Chambers & Partners. This ranking matches the firm’s  Tier 1 ranking in Legal 500.
