Harrogate company maintains top rankings at national level in Chambers High Net Worth Guide
Harrogate-based Raworths has shown it is one of the leading law firms in the north of England.
The highly-regarded solicitors firm has cemented its reputation within the industry by winning a Band 1 ranking in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2026 for the tenth year in a row.
The 25-strong team based at Station Parade remains the only Band 1-ranked firm in the York, Hull and surrounding area.
The publication is one of the leading guides to the international private wealth market and rankings are based on extensive independent research.
Rachel Tunnicliffe, Head of Private Client Services at Raworths said: “This is fantastic recognition for the exceptional expertise of our Trusts, Wills and Estates team at every level.
"To maintain our Band 1 rankings for a decade based on the feedback of our clients and professional contacts is a ringing endorsement of our workplace culture.”
Reflecting on the Raworths team, the Chambers HNW Guide 2026 quotes independent feedback gathered by researchers including: "The service level and professionalism is felt at every level of the business."
For the first time, Senior Associate Ryan Carter has been ranked as an “Associate to Watch”. Ryan joined Raworths in 2017, specialising in designing bespoke estate and succession strategies, often involving complex family structures, business and agricultural interests and intergenerational wealth.
Ryan joins other individually named Raworths specialists in the guide who maintained their rankings, including Joint Heads of Trusts, Wills and Estates, Alison Walker (Band 2) and Sam Jenner (Band 1, having achieved this top banding position last year) and Partner, Caroline Hedges (Band 2)
Alison and Sam took over as Joint Heads in 2024, enabling Rachel Tunnicliffe, who led the team for a decade, to expand her other leadership roles as Senior Partner at Raworths and Head of Private Client Services.
For the tenth year in a row, Rachel Tunnicliffe has also maintained her Band 1 ranking.
Rachel Tunnicliffe said: “With Sam and Alison at the helm, this talented team continues to go from strength to strength.
"In the last year we’ve also welcomed a new partner from a leading national and international firm, further elevating our expertise.”
