Womble Bond Dickinson (WBD) has been named Private Client Law Firm (Full Service) at the eprivateclient Excellence Awards.
WBD was recognised for being the top private client team in the country, handling high-value work here in the UK and internationally, in the areas of lifetime planning, contentious and non-contentious trusts and probate. Judges' feedback highlighted that the firm's "ability to handle both US and UK matters further distinguished them from many of their peers."
Neil Long, partner and head of private capital at WBD, commented:
"We're incredibly proud of this achievement. This award acknowledges the dedication of our private wealth group and the entire team in delivering exceptional work to our clients both in the UK and internationally.
"Our collaborative approach ensures that lawyers, tax experts, and accountants work together to protect and grow our clients' assets and pass them on efficiently to future generations.
"For over 200 years, WBD's private client practice has combined legal expertise, commercial insight, and local knowledge to provide comprehensive solutions under one roof."
The eprivateclient Excellence Awards recognise the outstanding achievements of the leading firms across the private client professions in the UK, Crown Dependencies and A-list wealth management centres.
The Awards are known for their independence, rigour, and transparency, and are judged by a well-regarded panel consisting of heads of wealth advisory, structuring and planning, from some of the sector’s leading private banks and wealth management institutions. A team of senior journalists and researchers also assist the panel.
