Wake Smith Solicitors’ director Suzanne Porter has been shortlisted in the 2023 Modern Law Private Client Awards.
Suzanne, who heads up the firm’s busy Private Client team, has been selected as one of five national finalists in the Lawyer of the Year – Wills & Probate category.
This is the first year of the awards launched specifically to celebrate and champion the incredible work being delivered across the Private Client industry.
Suzanne became the first female Head of the Private Client team in Wake Smith Solicitors’ long history in 2017.
With an eye on the development of private client work, she has made adaptations and changes to how the department works to face the challenges of an ever growing market, while juggling her own highly demanding caseload.
Under her leadership, the department has seen a substantial increase in clients and boosted its growing team to nine.
It also achieved its highest ever ranking in the UK’s leading legal directories, The Legal 500 2023, recognising its exceptional legal skills and client care.
The winners will be announced on 5 July at a ceremony at The Rum Warehouse, Liverpool.
