St Ives continues to be a top ranked set in the 2026 edition of Chambers and Partners

We are thrilled that 2025 has been another successful year for St Ives, having again cemented our reputation as a top ranked set in the 2026 edition of Chambers and Partners.

We are delighted to have been ranked in Band 1 for Family: Children, Family: Matrimonial Finance, Social Housing, Band 2 for Family/Matrimonial: Non-Court Dispute Resolution and Band 3 for Crime, with 22 of our barristers being ranked.

Particular praise is reserved for our clerking teams, who continue to receive outstanding feedback. We are proud to read that our civil clerks “go over and above”. The same is said for our family clerks, who are said to be “the best family clerks that I have come cross in Birmingham.”

Chambers continues to welcome applications from skilled and dedicated practitioners in our core practice areas.
