Kenworthy’s Chambers are delighted to announce our recent success in the 2025 legal directory rankings.

We are proud to say that a record-breaking 21 of our Barristers were ranked in the Legal 500 across eight separate practice areas. In Chambers and Partners legal directory, we are ranked in three areas of law with 10 Barristers across five separate practice areas.

In the Legal 500 Kenworthy’s Chambers was recognised in Crime, Fraud: Crime, Immigration, Family, Costs, Inquests and Inquiries, Personal Injury, and Professional Discipline.

In the Chambers and Partners Kenworthy’s Chambers was recognised in Crime, Financial Crime, Costs Litigation, Immigration, Administrative and Public Law.

Practice Manager Maria Rushworth was thrilled by the results and said: “Achieving sustained success in the legal directories has a large positive impact on the business by establishing a high level of trust for our set within the legal sector. Thank you to all our Barristers who applied and congratulations to all those who got in.

“Special mention to our newly included Barristers who made the Legal 500 rankings this year.

“John Richards was chosen as a Leading Junior in Crime which Kenworthy’s are over the moon to see. John has really developed his practice over the last couple of years as demonstrated with the serious offences he has been handling.”

Maria Rushworth also said: “It is fantastic to see the constant care and consideration Sarah Cook dedicates toward every Family Law client rewarded with her ranking in the Legal 500.

“Mark Schwenk is one of our best Senior Immigration Barristers with extensive experience in representing appellants and commercial immigration matters, so it is no surprise that his submission saw him highlighted as a Leading Junior in Immigration by the Legal 500.

“Big congratulations also to both Door Tenant Martin McCarthy KC and Member Barrister Soraya Lawrence who have just joined our chambers and been ranked highly, in both directories and the Legal 500 respectively.”
