Myerson Solicitors is proud to announce that its Contentious Probate Team has been named Best Contentious Wills & Probate Team (Large) at the 8th British Wills and Probate Awards, organised by Today’s Media, publishers of the leading industry news title Today’s Wills and Probate.
The national awards took place on 9th October at the Kimpton Clocktower in Manchester, bringing together firms from the wills, probate, tax, trusts and estate planning sectors to celebrate excellence and innovation across the profession.
Myerson’s entry showcased the calibre and complexity of the team’s caseload, including high-value disputes, rural property and trust matters, and cross-border estates.
The team, 18-strong and the largest of its kind in the North West, has developed a solid reputation for its expertise in alternative dispute resolution and trials, as well as its client-focused culture and commitment to supporting its people as the department continues to grow.
Helen Thompson, Partner and Head of Contentious Probate at Myerson, commented:
“It’s fantastic for the team to receive this national accolade and recognition. The evening was a great opportunity to celebrate with colleagues across the profession, catching up with familiar faces, making new connections, and reflecting on how far the sector has come.
I’m incredibly proud of our team. This award is a testament to their expertise, dedication and hard work, and to the supportive, client-focused culture we’ve built together. Well done, everyone.”
