25 Jun 2026
London-based strategic communications firm DRD Partnership has been ranked in Chambers and Partners’ global ranking for crisis PR for the first time. The accolade comes alongside the agency retaining its Band 1 standing for UK litigation communications and crisis PR and tier 3 ranking for global litigation communications.
The new independent appraisals are released today as part of Chambers Crisis & Risk Management and Litigation Support rankings, which are based on client and peer feedback on the quality and performance of key providers.
No other firm now matches DRD’s combination of Band 1 rankings for both litigation and crisis communications, alongside all partners appearing in the rankings.
All of the firm’s partners are also now individually ranked partners by the guide as follows:
- Crisis PR & Communications: Claire Davidson (Band 1), Kate Miller (Band 1), Lawrence Dore (Band 3) and Simon Pugh (Band 3).
- Litigation PR & Communications: Claire Davidson (Band 1), Simon Pugh (Band 1), Kate Miller (Band 1), Lawrence Dore (Band 3), Jon McLeod (Band 4) with Viktor Koleda recognised as an Associate to Watch.
DRD Partnership founding Partner, Lawrence Dore, said:
“We are lucky to continue enjoy the tremendous support of our clients and referrers and receiving these rankings is not something that we take for granted: on the contrary, it reflects the hard work of every member of our team.”
DRD Partnership founding Partner Claire Davidson, said:
“The fact that we are now ranked globally for crisis communications as well as litigation reflects our well-rehearsed capability to act in any part of the world, a skill for which an increasing number of clients are relying on us. The warmth and support of our clients and partners continues to be deeply appreciated by us all at the firm.”
