Brachers wins Probate Law Firm of the Year at UK Probate Research Awards 2021

Brachers has won the ‘Best Probate Law Firm – London and the South East’  category at the UK Probate Research Awards 2021.

The firm was up against some tough competition in this key category, which recognises not only the excellence in law firm service delivery, but also the support that law firms provide to probate researchers.

Brachers’ Probate team is one of the largest in the region, comprising 10 fee earners and four secretaries. It has been a particularly busy year for the team, with a 9% year-on-year growth in probate work.

Commenting on the win, Christopher Eriksson-Lee, Head of the Private Client team, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won this award – seeing the team recognised in this way is a huge boost for morale in what has been an extremely busy and challenging year.”

Private Client Partner, Alexandra Gordon, added: “I am absolutely delighted that we were successful in winning this award which recognises the team’s hard work and commitment to our clients over the last year. Congratulations also to all the other worthy finalists and winners.”

The virtual award ceremony took place on 29 April 2021, presented by criminal barrister and television personality, Judge Rob Rinder.

This award win is the latest in a series of high-profile recognition for Brachers. In January, the firm’s Corporate team were shortlisted in four categories at the South East Dealmakers Awards 2021, and Brachers has recently been shortlisted for the prestigious Managing Partners’ Forum Awards 2021.

Last year, the Private Client team were also successful in the British Wills and Probate Awards 2020, winning the ‘Private Client Team of the Year’ category.
