What it shows
Every dot is one of the people in our top 1,000 who works at one of the UK's 100 largest law firms: 749 people in all. Each sits around the wheel at their firm's brand colour. The nearer the centre, the higher their rank: the circles, from the centre out, mark the top 10, top 100, top 500 and top 1,000.
Law is navy. The biggest cluster by far is the dark blue and teal wedge, and it runs right into the centre, so navy firms supply both the numbers and many of the highest-ranked people.
But the best posters come in every colour. Reds, magentas and purples are just as close to the centre. Brand colour doesn't make a LinkedInfluencer; people do.
The quiet side of the wheel is yellow and lime. Few big firms use them, and the handful of people there sit mostly towards the edge.

How we made it: the 100 largest UK firms by lawyer headcount (the top of the TBD250). Brand colours come from each firm's logo and website. Rankings are provisional Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September), before analytics submissions and final checks; the final version follows the results at 06:00 on Tuesday 13 October. How we rank.
