Obelisk recognised in Chambers NewLaw 2026 guide as a leading provider of flexible legal talent
London, UK – June 12, 2026 – Obelisk Support, the pioneer in flexible legal resourcing and alternative legal services, is proud to announce its recognition in the Chambers NewLaw 2026 Guide, the definitive global ranking of the most outstanding providers of innovative legal services, for its fifth consecutive year.
A Chambers ranking is one of the legal industry’s highest marks of excellence, reflecting exceptional capability, client service and market reputation. The rankings are based on Chambers’ independent and rigorous research process, which includes more than 350,000 interviews and surveys with in-house counsel and legal professionals each year.
Obelisk’s inclusion in this year’s NewLaw Guide reflects its continued commitment to delivering exceptional legal expertise through its carefully curated community of experienced legal professionals, helping in-house legal teams and businesses access agile, high-quality support exactly when they need it.
This recognition from Chambers is a powerful endorsement of our mission to transform how legal services are delivered. For over 15 years, Obelisk has demonstrated that organisations do not need to choose between flexibility and excellence. Our exceptional legal consultants, combined with our deep understanding of our clients’ businesses, allow us to deliver agile, commercially minded legal support that meets the evolving needs of modern legal teams.
The Chambers NewLaw Guide recognises the world’s leading providers of alternative legal services, including flexible legal staffing, legal technology, and legal transformation consultancy. The rankings are informed by extensive client and market feedback, assessing providers on technical excellence, commercial awareness, client service and value.
Obelisk has built a network of more than 2,000 experienced lawyers across a broad range of specialisms, including banking, commercial property, employment and intellectual property, supporting clients across sectors including financial services, telecommunications and retail. Chambers highlighted Obelisk’s ability to source “sophisticated and niche” legal talent, with clients describing the company as “a great partner to work with” that understands their business and excels at matching their needs with the best possible legal professionals.
This latest recognition reinforces Obelisk Support’s position at the forefront of the evolving legal services market, where businesses increasingly seek flexible, specialist expertise that combines the highest standards of legal quality with greater agility and efficiency.
Being recognised in the Chambers NewLaw 2026 Guide is particularly meaningful because it is based on independent research and direct feedback from clients. We are incredibly grateful for the trust our clients place in us and proud of the talented lawyers who make our model so successful.
