Share

Our team are delighted to share the latest rankings by Chambers UK. KANGS has continued to distinguish itself as a leading criminal litigation law firm in the UK, having earned the prestigious Band 1 ranking for Criminal Litigation in the Chambers UK Guide 2026.

Chambers & Partners is an independent legal research organisation. For over 30 years, it has evaluated law firms and individual lawyers worldwide to deliver impartial and authoritative market intelligence. Its rankings are widely recognised as a benchmark of excellence within the legal profession.

This recognition in Chambers UK reflects KANGS longstanding commitment to excellence and our sustained high performance in criminal law for more than two decades.

Leading the Way in Criminal Litigation

For the fifth consecutive year, KANGS has maintained a Band 1 ranking for its work in Criminal Litigation, including investigation and prosecution for serious offences including drug-related crimes, sexual offences, serious assault, and manslaughter, among others.

Chambers UK outlines specific criteria for achieving its highest band, including technical legal expertise, professional integrity, diligence, and quality of client service. Our firm was thoroughly assessed across these areas. Chambers UK emphasised that securing a ranking in any band is a notable accomplishment, and we take great pride in our continued recognition for operating at the highest level.

The guide further commended our team’s proficiency in handling complex criminal matters, from initial police station engagement and advisory work to Court representation, stating that:

They have huge experience with serious and complex cases. The partners and solicitors are all first-rate. They provide exceptional levels of service.

"Nothing is too much trouble for the KANGS team, who prepare their work meticulously and respond in a timely fashion."

Individual Excellence | Band 1 Lawyer Rankings

In addition to KANGS being awarded a Band 1 ranking, our senior partner, Hamraj Kang, has once again been individually recognised by Chambers UK as a Band 1 leading lawyer. This notable ranking, which Hamraj Kang has consistently held over many years, reflects his dedication to client advocacy and commitment to achieving successful outcomes.

Chambers UK said:

"Hamraj is an iconic individual, a true leader and innovator in the legal market."

"Hamraj is extraordinarily energetic and rigorous and really knows the law. He is very ambitious and a really good solicitor."
