Clarkslegal’s international legal alliance TAGLaw achieves top “Elite” – Band 1 ranking by Chambers & Partners 2026

Clarkslegal’s international legal alliance, TAGLaw®, has again been recognised by Chambers & Partners as “Elite – Band 1” for 2026 – the highest ranking awarded to legal networks and alliances. This is the 13th year TAGLaw has received the distinguished “Elite” designation since Chambers & Partners began ranking legal networks and alliances in 2013, and the fifth consecutive year ranked as “Band 1” since Chambers expanded their rankings of legal networks in 2020.

Monica Atwal, managing partner of Clarkslegal, explained how important this alliance is to Clarkslegal: “Our membership in the TAGLaw® alliance since its formation over 25 years ago has proved of great benefit to those of our clients with international operations. Through TAGLaw®, our clients can be assured of getting advice from 150 trusted, reliable firms in over 95 countries. We can also reach a trusted network of UK firms and specialists for support.”

Achieving ‘Elite’ Band 1 recognition in the Chambers Global Guide is a powerful endorsement of the strength, reputation, and quality of our member firms worldwide,” said Richard Attisha, President & CEO of TAGLaw and TAG Alliances. “Equally significant is the invitation to author the Law Firm Networks Overview, which reflects the depth of our experience, our leadership within the legal alliance community, and the trust Chambers places in TAGLaw as a voice in the global market.”

Chambers’ rankings are widely regarded as the gold standard in the legal profession, based on extensive independent research, client feedback, and peer interviews conducted worldwide. In selecting networks and alliances for their “Elite” status, Chambers & Partners closely considers a variety of factors, including global reach, quality of member firms, cross-border capabilities, and client service delivery. TAGLaw’s consistent Band 1 ranking underscores its member firms’ ability to deliver seamless, high-quality legal services across jurisdictions while maintaining the personal attention and responsiveness of strong local firms. Together with its sister alliances of accounting firms (TIAG®) and strategic partners (TAG-SP®), TAGLaw provides exceptional multidisciplinary service and a competitive advantage to businesses that cross geographical borders.

“Our membership of the TAGLaw® alliance since its formation over 26 years ago has proved of great benefit to those of our clients with international operations.”
