Thackray Williams celebrates major award wins

Thackray Williams, based in Kent and London, is proudly celebrating after two of its staff members won influential awards at the Private Client Modern Law Awards and the Apartment Advisor Awards. Katie Martin was honoured with the title of Best Paralegal at the Private Client Modern Law Awards, while Jimmy Griffin received the Rising Star accolade at the Apartment Advisor Awards. “It has been a huge honour to win the award for Paralegal of the year in the Private Client space at this national event. It is testament to the quality of the work I am happy to undertake, and the collegiate and supportive working environment I enjoy at Thackray Williams. Although it is a personal award it says much about the department and the wider firm that we regularly compete at this level,” commented Katie on her achievement.

Jimmy added, “I am delighted to have received this prestigious award. It is a real reflection of the support, hard work, and collaboration within the Leasehold Team at Thackray Williams. It’s a great reminder of what can be achieved when part of a strong and focused team. Thank you to everyone within the department for their assistance throughout.” The Leasehold Team was also featured on the shortlist for both Solicitors Firm of the Year and Conveyancing Firm of the Year in the Apartment Advisor Awards, showcasing the firm’s collective achievements. The Private Client team achieved finalist status in both the Wills & Probate (16+ solicitors) and Tax & Trusts categories of the Private Client Modern Law Awards, while Nima Stepney’s prowess earned her a place on the shortlist for Lawyer of the Year, Tax & Trusts.

Katie’s recent success follows in the footsteps of Nicola Huseyin, who was recognised as Best Private Client Legal Assistant at the British Wills & Probate Awards 2024 for her inspiring leadership of the seven legal assistants in her department.
