The categories Pickerings Solicitors has been shortlisted for are:
Best Probate Law Firm: Boutique
This category is for ‘Boutique’ law firms, typically small (but mighty) in size. Probate solicitors are experts in estate administration and have legal, accountancy and administrative skills as well as patience and understanding. They are crucial in guiding individuals through the complex probate process, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting assets. They offer a raft of expertise across estate administration, will drafting, and resolving legal challenges, providing peace of mind during challenging times.
Best Probate Lawyer of the Year - Emma Harrison
In the complex and often emotionally charged realm of probate and estate administration, the role of a highly skilled probate lawyer is invaluable. This category highlights the critical importance of legal excellence and the profound impact that dedicated professionals have in facilitating the resolution of probate and estate matters.
Best Will Writer of the Year - Lucy Cooling
This award recognises an individual Will Writer, who specialises in offering personalised and professional services, providing a vital one-to-one service to their clients, working to protect their assets and ensure their loved ones are provided after their passing. Their attention to detail, legal acumen, and ability to address clients’ unique needs make those who specialise in writing Wills invaluable contributors to the industry, ensuring that individuals’ final wishes are respected and implemented.
The Unsung Hero Award - Angela Griffiths
This award celebrates the people in a firm who may not always find themselves in the spotlight but play a vital role in the success of their team and firm. Recognising these unsung heroes fosters a sense of unity within the team and the firm, acknowledging that success is a collective effort and reinforces the idea that every role, regardless of visibility, contributes to the firm’s overall success.
