Myerson Shortlisted in Three Categories at the Modern Law Private Client Awards 2026

The Modern Law Private Client Awards celebrate excellence across the private client sector, recognising the individuals, teams and firms delivering the highest standards of expertise, service and innovation.

With a focus on wills, probate, tax, trusts and estate planning, the awards honour those whose professionalism, dedication and forward-thinking approach continue to shape and elevate private client practice.

For Myerson, being shortlisted across three categories reflects the breadth and quality of the firm’s private client services, from estate administration and probate to complex tax, trusts and succession planning.

Myerson’s shortlisting for Private Client Team of the Year - North of England recognises the team’s strong regional reputation and national reach.

The team is led by Bik-ki Wong, Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate and Head of Private Wealth, alongside Partner Clara Staunton. Together, they lead a specialist team advising on a wide range of private client and private wealth matters.

The team’s work is often highly personal and complex, requiring a combination of technical legal expertise, careful judgement and empathy. Whether supporting families through probate following the death of a loved one, advising business owners on succession planning, or helping clients protect family wealth for future generations, the team provides clear, practical and tailored advice.

Our private client offering is also strengthened by its commitment to inclusive and accessible client care, including experience advising elderly and vulnerable clients, families from diverse cultural backgrounds and clients with complex communication needs.

Our shortlisting for Probate & Estate Administration Team of the Year recognises the team’s expertise in administering complex and high-value estates with care, accuracy and efficiency.

The team supports executors, administrators, trustees and families through every stage of estate administration, including identifying and securing assets, dealing with HMRC, advising on inheritance tax, managing creditor claims, and supporting beneficiaries throughout the process.

Through Myerson Trust Corporation, we can act as a professional executor, trustee, or administrator, providing independent, experienced oversight when estates are complex or when family circumstances require neutrality and continuity.

The team regularly advises on estates involving business interests, agricultural land, investment portfolios, property assets, international elements and sensitive family circumstances.

The team’s probate work is underpinned by a compassionate approach.

Estate administration often takes place at a difficult and emotional time, and the team emphasises clear communication, sensitivity, and practical support.
