Morgan Lewis has been recognized across 155 practices in the Chambers USA 2026 guide, a leading independent directory of the U.S. legal market. The firm's broad showing in this year's edition reflects sustained performance across a wide range of disciplines and underscores the depth of talent available to clients navigating complex legal challenges.
Among the 155 practice rankings, 35 were placed in the top-tier Band 1 category. Band 1 recognition is reserved for practices that Chambers identifies as leading in their respective markets, and the firm's presence at this level across so many areas signals consistent client service, technical excellence, and market visibility. For clients evaluating outside counsel, these tier-one placements offer an independent reference point when assessing capability in specific subject-matter and jurisdictional areas.
In addition to its practice rankings, Morgan Lewis received 333 individual lawyer recognitions in the 2026 guide. Individual rankings are based on extensive research conducted by Chambers, including interviews with clients and peers, and are intended to highlight attorneys who have demonstrated meaningful contributions to their fields. The breadth of recognized lawyers reflects the firm's ability to field experienced counsel across a wide spectrum of matters, from transactional work to regulatory engagement and dispute resolution.
The 2026 edition also features 41 new lawyer rankings for Morgan Lewis attorneys. New rankings are particularly notable because they identify lawyers who have recently met the rigorous threshold for Chambers recognition, suggesting both rising talent within the firm and continued growth in areas of client demand. Taken together with the existing rankings, the new additions point to a pipeline of practitioners prepared to handle sophisticated client work.
Chambers USA rankings have long served as a benchmark for general counsel, in-house teams, and other purchasers of legal services seeking to identify firms and lawyers with demonstrated experience. Morgan Lewis's results in the 2026 guide reinforce the firm's commitment to delivering substantive, sector-aware counsel and to investing in the people who serve its clients.
