Sandbach's Talbots Law earns its first ever ranking in Chambers & Partners

The leading employee-owned solicitors with a branch in Sandbach has been ranked in the prestigious 2026 Chambers & Partners listing for the first time.

Talbots Law, which has an office on the High Street, secured Tier 4 band for its dispute resolution offer that has been attracting plaudits across the industry for its expansive knowledge, outstanding talent and the complexity of its growing caseload.

Alongside this debut ranking, Jodi Flint's Trusts & Estates department has been highlighted as 'One to Watch' going into 2026, with a recent recruitment surge resulting in more than 70 specialist legal professionals now supporting thousands of clients across the country.

Chambers & Partners acknowledged the scale and quality of the service available in this area as a reason for putting the team on the radar for the prestigious global directory.

Dave Hodgetts, Chief Executive Officer of Talbots Law, commented: "Our reputation is built on delivering outstanding commercial advice, exceptional client service, and maintaining an employee-owned culture that enables our people to excel.

"Being recognised by Chambers & Partners, a globally respected guide, is a fantastic achievement for everyone across the business, especially due to the fact that is very rare to be ranked on your first submission."

He continued: "We're incredibly proud of our teams and are already focused on how we can build on this success in next year's rankings."

Talbots Law has enjoyed a remarkable growth journey in recent years, becoming one of the first law firms in the West Midlands and Cheshire to adopt an employee-ownership model back in 2021.

Since then, turnover has jumped from £18m to just over £40m, six well-established firms have been acquired enroute to opening 19 offices across six counties. Staff levels have also increased rapidly, with 600 people now employed.
