Michelmores, the South West law firm with an office in Bristol, has been named as Regional Law Firm of the Year at the prestigious Citywealth Magic Circle Awards.
The accolade follows on from Michelmores’ recognition as STEP UK & Ireland Regional Private Client Team of the Year 2010/11.
The Citywealth Magic Circle Awards have been an established presence in the wealth calendar for the past seven years, attracting professionals from the leading firms in the private wealth sector.
Each year the awards bring together 500 elite advisors and managers in the international wealth industry, representing more than 140 organisations including the leading law firms, trust companies, family offices, tax advisors, investment managers and bankers in the wealth sector to recognise the achievements of the industry during the past year.
The awards were presented by journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil at the Grange St Pauls Hotel in London.
They were judged by a team of 12 experts together with an online voting system, allowing professionals worldwide to vote for this category.
Michelmores' senior partner Will Michelmore said: “We are truly delighted with this award. We have been steadily building the largest and one of the strongest practices of this kind outside London, and the firm has achieved this award precisely because our lawyers consistently deliver positive legal advice based on professional knowledge, confidence, respect, trust and, above all, results.”
The firm’s head of the tax, trusts & succession Jonathan Riley, who was also recognised in the Citywealth 2013 Leaders List, said: “Recognition of our achievements in this way is particularly important to us as it represents independent assessment by our peers.”
Michelmores has offices in Bristol, Exeter, London and Sidmouth.
