Chambers UK 2025 Ranks Arnold & Porter Practices, Lawyers
Chambers UK continues to highlight Arnold & Porter as a “Leading Firm” in the UK, with the publication’s 2025 guide recognizing six of the firm’s practice areas and 18 lawyers as “Leading Individuals.” The annual legal guide assesses firms and individuals based on interviews, submissions, and work highlights.
The 2025 guide once again ranked the firm’s UK Life Sciences: Product Liability and Life Sciences: Regulatory practices in Band 1. Clients and peers praised the practices for navigating the complex regulatory framework associated with pharmaceuticals and life sciences, noting that they are frequently called upon to challenge decisions made by regulatory agencies and are “genuinely embedded in the life sciences, with a supreme understanding of the sector.”
Chambers UK also lauded the firm’s Corporate Crime & Investigations practice for its ability to “manage but also unpack and simply explain sophisticated matters,” adding that it is frequently called upon by clients to conduct internal investigations. The guide also recognized the Financial Crime: Individuals practice for being “well-respected” and for handling a variety of regulatory prosecutions and investigations. The firm’s International Arbitration: Investor-State Arbitration practice was described as “renowned” for advising sovereign states in Europe, Latin America, and Asia on investment arbitrations and the Public International Law practice was highlighted for meeting “the highest standards of quality,” with “enviable experience representing national governments, NGOs and corporations in Latin America, Europe, and the APAC region in high-profile commercial, BIT, and international human rights disputes.”
