Chambers Ranks Aria Grace Law CIC Among UK’s Leading Equine Law Firms

Aria Grace Law CIC recognised in 2026 Chambers UK Guide for Sport Horse Racing & Equestrian, with high rankings for the department and two individual lawyers

Aria Grace Law CIC (AGL) has been recognised in the 2026 Chambers and Partners UK Guide for its outstanding work in Sport: Horse Racing & Equestrian, with the firm securing a Band 2 ranking in this specialist area of practice.

The Equine Law team, part of the firm’s not-for-profit Community Interest Company, has also earned individual recognition. Jodie Seddon has retained her Band 1 ranking for the second consecutive year, while Hannah Bradley enters the rankings for the first time in Band 2. The recognition reflects the team’s dedication to providing sector-specific advice rooted in deep industry knowledge and legal excellence.

Clients have described the AGL team as highly skilled lawyers with a strong passion for both law and the equestrian world. The firm is praised for its combination of legal rigour and practical insight, making it a trusted adviser across a range of matters, from regulatory and disputes work to corporate transactions and commercial arrangements.

“Our focus is on providing access to affordable top quality legal advice to all participants in the equestrian industry. The feedback shared by our clients with Chambers shows that we are delivering on that promise,” said Jodie Seddon, Partner at AGL. “Our collaborative approach means we can combine our legal and equestrian knowledge to support our clients with clear, commercial guidance.”

This milestone coincides with a period of strong growth for the Equine Law team, which includes Jodie Seddon, Hannah Bradley and Laura Hillier. With extensive experience both in private practice and in-house at the highest levels, the team brings a unique blend of legal and equestrian expertise. Their deep understanding of the industry enables them to deliver pragmatic, commercial advice tailored to the needs of clients across the sector, providing solutions that are legally robust and commercially sound.

Hannah Bradley, who joins the rankings for the first time, specialises in disputes and litigation. “I am delighted to be recognised both individually and alongside the team. This reinforces the value of working with sector specialists who understand the legal and practical context equestrian clients operate in.”

The Equine Law team works with clients ranging from elite riders and breeders to syndicates, governing bodies and equestrian businesses. “This area of law was once seen as niche,” added Seddon. “But horses are high-value assets and the legal risks reflect that. Our role is to protect people, businesses, relationships and reputations in a sector we understand inside out.”

Chambers and Partners is one of the leading independent directories of the legal profession. Its rankings are based on rigorous research, including interviews with clients and peers, and reflect excellence in expertise, client service and sector understanding.
