Freeths recognised with dual honours at leading private client industry awards

Leading law firm Freeths has achieved double recognition for its outstanding private client services, securing two prestigious industry awards in the same week and cementing its position among the UK’s top firms in the sector.

The firm was named a Top Private Client Law Firm (full service) by Pam Insight at the prestigious eprivateclient Excellence Awards 2025, and has also taken home Private Client Firm of the Year – Large Team, at the British Wills and Probate Awards 2025.

These accolades add to a growing list of achievements that reflect Freeths’ reputation for both legal excellence and workplace culture. The firm was recently listed as a 2025 Top 30 Employer for Working Families, achieved Tommy’s Pregnancy and Parenting at Work Champion status, and climbed one place in The Lawyer Hot 100, moving from 44 to 43 – further underscoring its momentum and exceptional capabilities.

Hosted annually, both awards celebrate outstanding achievements across the private client industry. The eprivateclient Excellence Awards are judged by senior professionals from leading private banks and wealth management institutions, while the British Wills and Probate Awards recognise excellence in the delivery of wills, probate and estate planning services. Both awards are widely regarded as a benchmark of quality and innovation in the sector.

Freeths’ recognition across these platforms highlights the firm’s continued dedication to delivering exceptional client care, technical expertise and innovative solutions, in areas such as estate planning, tax, wealth structuring and probate.

Sarah Foster, Partner and Joint National Head of Private Client Services at Freeths, commented: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised by Pam Insight as one of the UK’s leading private client law firms. This award reflects the talent, commitment and care our team brings to every client relationship. It’s a privilege to be acknowledged by such a respected institution, and a testament to our continued growth within the private wealth space.”

Louise Lewis, Partner and Head of Trusts, Estates and Tax at Freeths, added: “Winning Private Client Firm of the Year at the British Wills and Probate Awards is a fantastic achievement. It highlights the strength and depth of our national team and the high standards we set in delivering sensitive, tailored advice to families across the country. We’re delighted to see our work recognised in this way.”
