Monday 23 September 2024


Local firms are celebrating clinching prestigious STEP Private Client awards.

JTC and Collas Crill gathered at the London Hilton on Park Lane with other shortlisted firms at the 19th meeting of the global membership body last week.

Recognised as a key fixture within the global private client sector and the benchmark for quality across the industry, the STEP Awards are rigorously judged with up to five finalists in each category and celebrate excellence amongst private client solicitors, lawyers, accountants, barristers, bankers, trust managers and financial advisors. 

JTC’s Private Client Services team were named the ‘Trust Company of the Year (large firm)’.

Commenting on the win, Iain Johns, Group Head of Private Client Services at JTC, said: “Being recognised by STEP through this prestigious accolade is a fantastic endorsement of the hard work and extraordinary combined achievements of our global teams over the past few years.

"We have continued to deliver impressive growth, both organically and through our ambitious acquisition strategy, affirming JTC’s position as a leading global trust business.

“The Award is also a reflection of our innovative approach, of the considerable expertise and experience of our people, the development opportunities for our people, and of the sustained focus we have on providing a high-quality service to families and private clients – something that remains critical in the current complex and rapidly evolving environment.” 

Local law firm Collas Crill took home the Private Client Legal Team of the Year (midsize firm) award, with judges commenting that the small organisation manages an "impressive" multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional practice that "punches well above its weight" in providing services to a diverse global clientele.

Christian Hay, Global head of Collas Crill's Private Client and Trusts team, said he was "delighted" about the award.

"I was delighted to accept this award on behalf of the entire Collas Crill private client team," he said. "It’s a testament to the dedication that they have demonstrated over the last 12 months and a reflection of the faith that the global private client community places in our expertise.

"Our private client team across all our locations works tirelessly with genuine passion, hard work and dedication to build these client relationships to deliver a high level and seamless service. This award reflects this and I am extremely proud that the team has been recognised by STEP and peers in the industry."
