Dickinson Gleeson has been shortlisted for the Boutique Firm of the Year award in the prestigious Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) Private Client awards for 2014/15.
This category is open not only to law firms (whether in partnership or sole practice), but also to accountants and tax advisors, specialising in private client services. The winners in each category will be announced at a gala dinner in London on 17 September 2014.
The awards, which are in their ninth year, celebrate excellence in the legal and financial professions and this year received a record 240 entries from 21 countries worldwide. The Boutique Firm of the Year award recognises technical excellence, local knowledge and client service in companies with up to six fee earners. Five firms have been shortlisted in the category and the winner will be chosen by a panel of experts, including internationally recognised lawyers, accountants, barristers and trust companies.
