The Private Client team won the Tax & Trust Team of the Year category, while solicitor Kamran Chughtai, who qualified last year after joining Thackray Williams as a trainee, was highly commended as One to Watch Practitioner of the Year.   The team were also finalists in the category Probate Provider of the Year – South.

“I am hugely proud of the team for winning this deserved accolade,” commented Partner Elliot Lewis, who leads the Private Client team. “The judges recognised our expertise in providing effective solutions, particularly for high net worth clients with complex financial matters, and our focus on providing exceptional customer service for all our clients across Kent and London which every member of the team upholds. 

“I am delighted for Kamran that his exceptional start to his legal career has been acknowledged by the judges – his willingness to learn, keen legal intelligence and his determination to make sure our clients receive the best service possible has been clear since he joined us as a trainee,” added Private Client Partner Nima Stepney. 

“I’m absolutely delighted at being Highly Commended as One to Watch Practitioner of the Year – it’s testimony to the tremendous support and mentoring that I have received at Thackray Williams and I am grateful to the whole team for helping me grow in my legal career,” said Kamran.
