Field Seymour Parkes (FSP) is delighted to announce its continued recognition in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2026, achieving top-tier rankings that reflect the firm’s commitment to excellence in private client services across the Thames Valley and beyond.
The firm has once again secured a Band 1 ranking for Private Wealth Law, underlining the strength and expertise of its highly regarded Wills, Tax & Trusts team. Rob Crowther, Partner and Head of the team, retains his Band 1 individual ranking, with clients praising him as “having a great deal of experience in looking at estates and planning for the best outcomes for beneficiaries.” Fellow Partners Sue Vandersteen and Ben Oliver also maintain their Band 3 rankings.
FSP’s Private Wealth Disputes team has retained its Band 2 ranking, while Emma Shepherd has been recognised as an Associate to Watch. This accolade reflects the team’s growing reputation and influence, as one of the few dedicated contentious probate practices in the region. Katharine Riley, who leads the team, continues to hold a Band 1 individual ranking and is described by clients as a “well-respected senior practitioner” who provides “good, realistic advice.”
These rankings reinforce FSP’s position as a trusted adviser to individuals and families, delivering tailored legal advice across estate planning, inheritance tax, trusts, and probate disputes.
