U.K. firms Macfarlanes and Charles Russell Speechlys have maintained their dominance in the private client sector, according to the 2021 Global Elite Directory which catalogues the top lawyers advising the world's ultra high net-worth individuals. 

Just over 300 lawyers from 164 firms, chambers and practices made the cut in this year's directory. Macfarlanes led the way with ten lawyers in the list, alongside offshore law firm Mourant.
