What it means to OTS Solicitors to be ranked in the 2026 Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Directories
OTS Solicitors has been ranked in Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 for several years, a significant achievement for a London law firm that was only established nine years ago by brother and sister Oshin and Teni Shahiean.
What it takes to get ranked in the Chambers and Partners Guide and the Legal 500
The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Guide conduct extensive independent research into the quality of work, client feedback, peer and professional recognition, team strength, market standing, commitment to innovation, performance consistency, leadership and strategy, and client service ethos. Client and peer feedback play a vital role in deciding whether a firm of solicitors receives recognition by ranking in one or both directories.
CEO, founding partner, and Immigration Solicitor Teni Shahiean leads the team dedicated to helping OTS Solicitors continue to punch above its weight (based on the firm's size and age) and maintain the two prestigious directory rankings. That work doesn’t just happen overnight, it’s a 365-day job. It involves everyone from the friendly and efficient reception staff and keen legal service officers to dedicated lawyers and the staff that clients don’t see when they come into OTS Solicitors' offices in central London or when they have an online consultation from overseas or a telephone call from within the UK.
How hard can it be to get and maintain peer and professional recognition? Well, management and the team come together to ensure they showcase the following:
- Quality of work - providing excellent service as standard as part of our client service ethos.
- Communication- keeping our clients informed about the case work we are doing on their behalf.
- Forward thinking - ensuring all our lawyers are at the top of their game and aware of the latest legal developments in their specialist area of legal expertise.
- Leadership -teaching our legal service officers and solicitors how to be pragmatic, focused, commercial, and results-driven, as clients don’t want lawyers who write reams without coming up with solutions.
- Value recognition - recognising that the most valuable people are our clients, followed very closely by the lawyers and support team, who make our clients happy with our legal services and willing to be independently interviewed by directory researchers.
What is hard is that our lawyers don’t have to provide excellent service to a single client. They need to do it for every one of our clients who engages our legal services, whether they need legal advice on business immigration, employment, personal immigration, human rights, family law, or landlord and tenant law.
The whole firm works day in and day out to maintain its reputation and inclusion in the directories. Whilst Teni Shahiean works closely, liaising directly with directory researchers for both The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Guide, she is only able to pull all the information and detail required by the directories through the strength of the teams behind her and their commitment to innovation, consistency of performance, and to the philosophy that all our clients deserve a legal service that is second to none.
At the same time, we are proud to highlight the next generation of exceptional lawyers at OTS Solicitors who are already making a meaningful impact and will continue to shape our firm’s future. These rising stars bring fresh perspectives, innovative thinking and outstanding legal talent, and we remain committed to promoting and showcasing the entire team's achievements as they rise through the ranks and deliver even greater value for our clients.
The enormous amount of work involved in directory submissions every year is what OTS Solicitors does every day: providing excellent legal services by putting our clients first and foremost. We hope that further recognition in the two leading law directories will continue to promote and raise the profile of all our solicitors, ensuring they achieve even greater recognition in their fields and that their hard work and dedication can continue to be showcased in years to come.
Thank you
Our inclusion in the two leading law directories is something the whole firm celebrates. It isn't a given, as each year a law firm's continued inclusion in the directories is subject to rigorous and independent vetting. As a precursor to clients agreeing to be contacted for an interview by researchers employed by the directories, a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work is involved in preparing detailed submissions, providing case studies of previous client work, and demonstrating excellence.
We want to thank our clients, peers, and colleagues who continue to support and celebrate our success. Thank you.
