Bristol-headquartered national law firm Burges Salmon has won a major award for its private client work for the second time in three years.
The firm landed the title of Legal Team of the Year – Large Firm at the STEP Private Client Awards 2017/18, reflecting market recognition of its reputation in the private wealth sector and that it competes internationally on equal terms with lawyers anywhere in the world. 
The STEP Private Client Awards are viewed as the hallmark of quality in the private client industry. Open globally to both STEP members and non-members, the awards recognise and celebrate excellence among private client solicitors, accountants, barristers, bankers, trustees and financial advisors.
All entries undergo a rigorous judging process. Judges are supported by an independent panel of experts comprising internationally renowned practitioners in the wealth management arena.
Head of Burges Salmon’s private wealth team, Beatrice Puoti, pictured, said: “The STEP Awards are considered as the leading recognition in the wider private wealth sector. We are therefore once again delighted to have won this prestigious Award.”
The winners were announced at a dinner and awards ceremony staged earlier this month at The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London and attended by more than 700 private-client professionals.
The Burges Salmon private wealth team is nationally and internationally recognised for providing clear and practical legal advice to clients in the UK and abroad. The team works with a wide variety of clients including entrepreneurs, landowners, high and ultra-high net worth individuals, trustees and family offices, both onshore and offshore.
