Latham Named International Law Firm of the Year at Legal Business Awards

Latham & Watkins has been named International Law Firm of the Year at the 2025 Legal Business Awards. The annual awards celebrate the very best in the legal profession at one of the most prestigious events in the legal calendar in London.

Latham was recognized for the depth and breadth of its global platform and its expertise and leadership in a variety of key practices such as private equity, public company M&A, capital markets, restructuring, and high-stakes litigation, as well as in strategically important global industries like technology, energy and infrastructure, healthcare and life sciences, financial services, and sports.

Legal Business credited the firm for “another marquee year” during which it advised on 31 US IPOs, five of the top 10 European take-privates, and three of the top five UK M&A deals, “underlining its place at the top of the market on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The firm also maintained a dominant position in the recent Legal 500 UK 2026 rankings, underscoring its status as a London powerhouse across key transactional, disputes, and regulatory practices.
