Thursday 17th October is the prestigious British Wills and Probate Awards 2019, brought to you by Today’s Wills and Probate, alongside headline sponsor, Arken.legal (UK) Ltd, a leader in software solutions for the legal services.
The sold-out event, which takes place at the Belfry Hotel and Resort in Birmingham, will crown the very best individuals and firms as winners in the Wills and probate sector.
With the increased number of submissions in the categories for the Awards this year, our judging panel were certainly put to the test as they fervently went through the many submissions to find the cream of the crop in the sector. With the myriad of submissions to go through, making the decision proved a challenge for the judges but a shortlist was eventually settled on back in August.
The British Wills and Probate Awards is the first and only ceremony to recognise excellence in the profession of Will Writing and Probate services. Nearly 300 people will be attending the event to find out the winners and enjoy an evening that not only celebrates the individual achievements of those receiving an award, but also to recognise everyone who plays a part in delivering quality work, in this vital legal service industry.
