We are delighted to announce that Baskerville Drummond has once again been recognised in the Chambers NewLaw 2026 Guide, retaining our Band 1 ranking for LawTech Consulting. David Baskerville has also received individual recognition for the first time, achieving a Band 1 ranking in the same guide.
This dual recognition reflects both the strength of Baskerville Drummond as a specialist consultancy and David’s standing as an independent adviser to law firms navigating complex technology decisions.
Chambers and Partners is regarded as one of the legal profession’s most respected independent research organisations. Its rankings are based on extensive interviews with clients and market participants, assessing organisations on technical expertise, commercial awareness, client service and the ability to deliver successful outcomes. For us, this recognition is particularly meaningful because it is based on the experiences and feedback of our clients.
The Chambers researchers describe Baskerville Drummond as a “well-respected and highly recognised independent legal IT consultancy“, highlighting our work across technology strategy, independent technology reviews, vendor selection, implementation and digital transformation. The feedback from clients reflects the values that have shaped our business since 2011 and continues to guide the way we support law firms today:
“Baskerville Drummond are quick to respond, willing to make themselves available and follow through on agreed actions.”
“Baskerville Drummond has good industry experience and knowledge, are easy to work with and can operate at all levels within a firm. They are also well equipped to deal with complex matters.”
“Baskerville Drummond have knowledge of the legal tech industry and genuine care about their clients’ interests.”
David also received exceptional individual feedback from clients, with comments highlighting his ability to combine deep legal technology experience with clear, practical advice:
“David Baskerville is always a joy to work with – he helps open your eyes to what is possible, what the potential risks are, and will always go 101% to deliver what is required.”
“David’s experience, built up from many years in the industry, is rare. He is one of the few IT professionals who can communicate complex IT concepts in plain English.”
“David’s knowledge of the legal tech market is second to none. He proactively reaches out to vendors to understand their product strategies and what is working in the market.”
Since founding Baskerville Drummond in 2011, our objective has remained unchanged: to provide independent, pragmatic advice that helps law firms make better, more confident technology decisions. We have never accepted vendor commissions or referral fees. Every recommendation we make is based solely on what is right for our clients, whether that involves reviewing an existing technology estate, selecting a new practice management system, implementing AI, strengthening cyber security, procuring a managed service provider or providing ongoing Virtual IT Director support.
Being recognised alongside some of the world’s largest professional services organisations demonstrates that independent specialist consultancies continue to play an important role in helping law firms navigate an increasingly complex technology landscape. This recognition belongs to the entire Baskerville Drummond team. Their expertise, professionalism and commitment to delivering successful outcomes are what enable us to build long-term relationships with clients across the legal sector.
Most importantly, we would like to thank our clients for the trust they place in us. Your feedback during the Chambers research process is what makes this recognition possible, and we are extremely grateful for your continued support.
As the legal technology landscape continues to evolve, with rapid advances in AI, cyber security and cloud platforms, we remain committed to providing the independent advice and practical guidance that law firms need to make confident technology decisions.
