Blackadders solicitor wins two STEP excellence awards

A senior solicitor at Blackadders has been awarded two Worldwide Excellence Awards by STEP, the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners.

Taylor Henry achieved the highest mark in her accounts exam and the highest overall mark on the STEP Diploma.

STEP’s qualifications are taken by accountants, lawyers, trustees, bankers and others to demonstrate their specialist knowledge and expertise. The STEP Excellence Awards recognise the highest achievers across all STEP qualifications globally. Blackadders is a Platinum Partner of STEP, marking its commitment to the continual growth of skills and expertise in staff members in this field.

This is the second year in a row that a solicitor from Blackadders has received the overall excellence award for the full two-year SREP Diploma, following the success of Robyn Lee last year.

Ms Henry said: “I am delighted to win these awards. They are one of the highest achievements you can get in our sector of the legal industry and to get two is amazing.” 

Laura McDowall, Blackadder's head of Private Client added: “This is an incredible achievement and we are all very proud of Taylor. These exams are designed to identify the future stars of our industry. The winners need to show a high level of technical knowledge and skill. Taylor deserves to have her dedication recognised with this outstanding award. I couldn’t be happier for her.”
