Irwin Mitchell Shortlisted for two STEP Awards

Irwin Mitchell has been shortlisted for two prestigious STEP awards; Private Client Legal Team of the Year (large firm) and Contentious Trusts and Estates Team of the Year (large firm).

The Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners (STEP) is the global professional association for practitioners who specialise in family inheritance and succession planning. STEP works to improve public understanding of the issues families face in this area and promotes education and high professional standards among its members.

This year saw a record number of nominations, with 337 submissions across 27 countries, so competition was tougher than ever.

Expert Opinion

I am delighted that we have been shortlisted for these prestigious awards. I am really proud of our private client teams, who work exceptionally hard to achieve the best results for our clients and lead the way in the private client space.

STEP is a vital part of upholding excellence in the private client industry, so I am extremely proud we have been named as finalists in two categories.
