Kenworthy’s Chambers Legal 500 Rankings 2024
We are delighted to announce that the 2024 Legal 500 rankings have recognised Kenworthy’s Chambers with 19 of our Member Barristers listed across, a record-breaking, eight of our teams.
The Practice Areas in which Kenworthy’s Chambers was ranked in the 2024 Legal 500 rankings are Crime, Costs, Employment, Family, Immigration, Inquests and Inquiries, Personal Injury, and Professional Disciplinary Law.
Thrilled by the number of teams represented in this year’s Legal 500, an ecstatic Maria Rushworth said: “I am delighted to see the inclusion of eight of our teams in Legal 500’s rankings. Our continued success in the world’s leading legal directory makes me proud to be the Practice Manager here, with over one-third of our Member Barristers now appearing in the 2024 rankings.”
She went on to say: “Congratulations are in order for all of our Barristers who applied, and I’d like to give a special mention to Haroon Rashid, for achieving Kenworthy’s Chambers’ first inclusion in the field of Personal Injury.”
“Haroon has been hard at work putting his industry knowledge to use delivering a series of Personal Injury seminars for free, as CPD training for Personal Injury Lawyers, so it is rewarding to see him recognised as a Leading Junior by Legal 500.”
