The Oscars of Private Client
The STEP Private Client Awards are widely regarded as the benchmark of excellence within private client and are considered by some to be the ‘Oscars’ of the private client world. The awards celebrate outstanding work and innovation in the fields of private client law, tax, trust and estate planning. The awards are open to globally to both STEP members and non-members and attract entries from all over the world. A key factor that distinguishes these awards is the exceptionally rigorous and wholly independent judging process, which spans over six months and comprises multiple stages of detailed assessment. Being shortlisted is a tremendous honour in itself and we are incredibly proud of Natasha’s success in reaching this stage.
“I am so excited to say I have been shortlisted as a Finalist for the Rising Star (Legal) Award with the STEP Private Client Awards 2025. The STEP Awards are amongst the most prestigious awards within the Private Client sector and are open to applications globally. I am grateful for all of the opportunities working at Spall Clark Solicitors continues to bring me!”
