Taylor Emmet has achieved Band 1 rankings in the prestigious Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2026, marking a significant milestone for the firm’s growing private wealth practice and reinforcing its strategic investment in TE Wealth, its dedicated offering for high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners across the UK.
The recognition sees both Taylor Emmet ranked Band 1 as a firm in the High Net Worth category and Oliver Simpson, Head of Private Wealth, recognised as a Band 1 individual, underlining the strength of the firm’s expertise and reputation within the specialist private wealth sector.
The Chambers High Net Worth Guide is one of the legal profession’s most respected independent directories. Unlike many legal rankings, it assesses advisers from across the wider private wealth landscape, including law firms, wealth managers, private banks, tax advisers, trustees, family offices and accountancy firms. Rankings are based on extensive independent research, incorporating feedback from both clients and professional peers, making inclusion a powerful endorsement of the quality of advice and service firms provide.
The recognition comes at an important time for Taylor Emmet following the launch of TE Wealth, the firm’s dedicated private wealth offering. Bringing together specialists from across the business, TE Wealth provides high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners with joined-up advice on estate and lifetime planning, tax and inheritance planning, family governance, business succession, strategic philanthropy, property matters, family law and reputation management.
By working alongside clients’ existing professional advisers, TE Wealth delivers a coordinated approach to protecting wealth, preserving family legacies and planning confidently for future generations.
Steve Hinshelwood, Chief Executive Officer at Taylor Emmet, said: “Achieving Band 1 recognition for both the firm and Oliver is an outstanding milestone for Taylor Emmet and one that reflects the quality of our people, the strength of our private wealth offering and the trust our clients place in us.
“Oliver’s individual Band 1 ranking is particularly well deserved. He has been instrumental in building and leading our private wealth practice, earning the respect of clients and professional advisers alike through his technical expertise, commercial insight and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service.
“His leadership has been central to the development of TE Wealth, bringing together specialists from across the firm to create a genuinely integrated private wealth offering. This recognition not only celebrates Oliver’s personal achievement but also demonstrates the collective expertise of the wider team and validates our ambition to build TE Wealth as a nationally recognised private wealth practice.”
Oliver Simpson, Head of Private Wealth at Taylor Emmet, added: “Securing our first Chambers High Net Worth rankings is a proud moment for the team and recognition of the expertise, relationships and client service we have worked hard to build over many years.
“What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it reflects the views of both our clients and professional peers. It demonstrates the confidence people have in our ability to deliver thoughtful, commercially minded advice on some of the most important decisions our clients will ever make.
“The ranking also comes at an exciting point in our journey following the launch of TE Wealth. We have invested significantly in building a truly joined-up private wealth offering, bringing together expertise from across the firm to help clients navigate every aspect of wealth preservation, succession and long-term planning. This recognition provides a strong platform as we continue to grow our presence both regionally and nationally.”
