Nexa Law Climbs 26 Places in The Lawyer UK 200, Moving Closer to the Top 150
Nexa Law has climbed an impressive 26 places in The Lawyer UK 200 rankings for 2026, moving to 169th position and just outside the UK’s top 150 law firms.
The latest results mark another significant milestone in the firm’s development, following its debut in the prestigious rankings last year. The rise reflects strong financial performance, continued expansion and the growing strength of Nexa’s innovative new-model approach to legal practice.
Founded in 2017, Nexa has established itself as one of the UK’s leading new-model law firms. Its latest ranking follows a year in which firm wide revenue grew over 30% on the previous year. The firm now has a community of more than 200 consultant lawyers, supported by a growing operational and business infrastructure.
The results underline the momentum behind a business that continues to challenge conventional law firm structures while delivering the standards, infrastructure and commercial strength expected of an established practice.
The Lawyer Recognises Nexa’s Strong Financial Performance
The move up the rankings highlights Nexa’s strong performance following its debut in the rankings.
This move was helped by Nexa’s strategic evolution, with an increasing focus on corporate, commercial and litigation work as the firm continues to diversify its practice areas.
Revenue per lawyer also increased significantly, reflecting the growing productivity and commercial performance of the business.
Growth Built on Independence, Quality and Commercial Ambition
Nexa’s continued rise reflects the appeal of a different approach to legal practice.
Its consultant model gives experienced lawyers the opportunity to build and develop their own practices, retain control of their client relationships and establish their professional identity, while benefiting from the infrastructure of an established law firm.
Consultants have access to dedicated finance, compliance, operational, technical and marketing support, alongside the professional protection and resources needed to run a successful legal practice.
The model is designed to remove many of the traditional constraints of law firm structures, allowing lawyers to focus on delivering exceptional work, developing client relationships and growing their businesses.
With an average of around four new consultants joining each month, Nexa continues to expand its community while maintaining a focus on developing a balanced and diverse range of practice areas.
A Different Model, Delivering Results
For Nexa, growth is about more than increasing numbers. It is about building a high-quality community of experienced lawyers, supported by a platform that enables individual success while delivering the collective strength of an established firm.
Eliot Hibbert, Nexa’s Founder and CEO, said:
“Climbing 26 places in The Lawyer UK 200 is a significant achievement for Nexa and a reflection of the progress we continue to make as a business. To be sitting just outside the top 150, less than ten years after establishing the firm, is a real milestone.
“Our growth is built on the quality of our lawyers, the strength of our platform and the commercial opportunities our model creates. We have always believed that experienced lawyers should not have to compromise on professional standards, quality of work or client service to gain greater independence.
“Nexa gives them the infrastructure and support of an established law firm, alongside the ownership to build a practice on their own terms. Our ambition is to continue building on this success and strengthening our position in the legal market.”
The Standards of a Leading Law Firm. The Ownership to Build Your Own Practice.
Nexa’s continued rise reflects the growing relevance of its model in a changing legal market.
For experienced lawyers looking to take greater control of their professional and commercial future, Nexa offers an alternative to the traditional partnership structure without requiring them to build an entire law firm from scratch.
With a market-leading fee share, £10m professional indemnity insurance with no excess for the consultant lawyer, and dedicated business and operational support, Nexa provides the foundations to build a successful independent practice.
As the firm approaches its tenth year, its focus remains on attracting exceptional legal talent, developing its capabilities and creating the conditions for its consultants to deliver outstanding work and achieve their commercial ambitions.
From debuting in The Lawyer UK 200 to climbing 26 places in just one year, Nexa’s trajectory reflects a business with both the platform and ambition to go further.
