Law firm Sintons has once again reinforced its position as a leading name in the North of England for contentious private wealth disputes, earning a prestigious ranking in the newly released Chambers High Net Worth Legal Guide 2026.
This top-tier accolade recognises a Wills, Trusts & Estates Disputes team that is widely celebrated for its national-calibre specialism. While the department is routinely heralded as a market leader by both the Legal 500 and Chambers UK guides, this latest endorsement underlines its formidable reputation in handling high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth disputes.
The guide also heavily praised individual talent within the team:
- Emma Saunders (Head of Team): Reaffirmed as a top-tier specialist, recognised for delivering the highest standards of legal strategy and client care in the country.
- Emelie Rowell (Associate): Continues her trajectory as an “Associate to Watch.”
- Jonathan Grogan (Senior Associate): Also recognised as an “Associate to Watch.”
The team is renowned across the UK for its ability to navigate highly complex, emotionally charged, and high-value disputes, steering clients toward positive resolutions during challenging times.
Christopher Welch, Managing Partner of Sintons, commented: “Our Wills, Trusts & Estates Disputes team consistently sets the gold standard for this niche area of law. Very few firms can match the depth of capability and pure legal intellect we have assembled here.
To be acknowledged once again with this ranking is a thoroughly deserved validation of the team’s commitment. Emma continues to prove herself as a true national titan in contentious matters, managing cases of immense complexity from every corner of the UK. We are equally thrilled to see independent recognition for Emelie and Jonathan as they continue to excel.”
