Hi everybody,
I'm a Chartered Accountant and Attorney-at-Law by profession. I have several years of experience in the industry and public practice. Do you think that it is worth applying for LLM in top universites in the UK. Since both my qualifications are professional and not academic it is not possible for me to obtain the ranking (I understand that top universities look for 5-10% of the cohort)
Are my qualifications suitable?

Its a mixed bag actually. i am sure you have a grading or a percentage system where you know your grades. A rank is not essential. Your qualifications ARE academic as well.
Which universities are you looking at. Remember that grades are not the be all and the end all of the admissions. Its a package that they look at. Hence a mis-rank (score) which very god work ex and strong recommendations and a good SOP can get you to the best of the places.
Best of luck

Dear Siva,
Top universities like Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Harvard, etc, have very a rigid eligibility criteria. The reason for the criteria being this complex is that they need to understand whether the applicant is suitable for the course or not. They primarily try to establish the applicant's area of interests and his previous performance/endeavour in the field he wants to pursue his masters.
It gives you an edge if you have a strong work experience by which you can explain how you have worked in a particular area and how the LLM will help you perform better.
I am sure that the institutions can issue a letter acknowledging your performance and possibly even declare your ranking. Some of my friends who pursued CS while studying LLB, did get a letter from the ICSI .

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your kind response. I have already tried this with ICASL and they have denied to reveal information even with regard to the marks that were obtained. They are reluctant to reveal this since they follow a rigid process which is under the control of the Council members. Anyway, as you have suggested I think I should be able to get a letter acknowledging my performance.
Thank you for your help!
