Burges Salmon’s Private Wealth and Estates and Land teams recognised in leading HNW guide

24 Jul 2025 2 min read

We have been recognised as a top tier firm for our private client and estates and land services, with the firm’s national teams and individual practitioners highly ranked in the 2025 Chambers and Partners High Net Worth guide, published today (24th July).

Released annually, Chambers High Net Worth highlights the best professional advisers for UK and international private wealth by identifying and ranking law firms, lawyers and other professional advisers globally. Burges Salmon achieved seven practice area and 12 individual rankings in this year’s directory.

Known for advising on complex cross-jurisdictional work and on some of the most complicated succession, tax planning and trust restructuring transactions, Burges Salmon retained all three of its Band 1 rankings for high-value residential work and private wealth expertise in National Leaders (Outside London) and Bristol and Surrounds. The firm is also listed amongst London’s heavyweights for private wealth law, having boosted its rankings in the City this year, and is highly ranked and for its Private Wealth Disputes team in the South West.

Boasting a strong family team advising clients on divorce and nuptial agreements, the firm is recognised UK-wide for its work advising high net worth clients on family and matrimonial finance matters.

“We are delighted to be recognised once again as a leading UK law firm for private wealth advice. With the guide based directly on client work and client feedback, the quality of rankings we achieved once again this year is testament to our fantastic team, the calibre of work we are regularly engaged in, and the ongoing trust and support of our clients.”

Suzanna Harvey, partner and head of Private Wealth at Burges Salmon

With more than 70 years of experience in dealing with Landed Estates and agriculture, Burges Salmon also secured a Band 1 ranking in the guide’s new UK-wide Landed Estates category. Working closely with Landed Estates and their other trusted advisers, the firm helps them thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

“We are pleased that Chambers HNW has recognised our expertise in dealing with Landed Estate clients. This reflects our commitment to helping our clients in this sector address the challenges they face and achieve their objectives.”
