Double success at STEP Private Client Awards 2025

Maurice Turnor Gardner LLP (MTG) has been named International Legal Team of the Year (Midsize Firm) and Private Client Legal Team of the Year (Midsize Firm) at the prestigious STEP Private Client Awards 2025.

This notable double win comes at a significant time for the firm, which earlier this month announced its office will move to one of London’s most iconic locations at Tea Auction House, Hay’s Galleria.

The wins cement MTG’s continued growth and success, marking the next chapter in the firm’s position at the forefront of the UK and international private client sector.

The STEP Award judges noted that: “Maurice Turnor Gardner maintains the feel of a small boutique firm while delivering exceptional service for its global clients. Its proactive, technically rigorous approach to the UK’s evolving tax landscape sets it apart. This extremely competent group of talented lawyers are completely approachable, ethical and proudly female led.”

Emma-Jane Weider, Managing Partner of MTG, said:

“We are immensely proud to have won two STEP Awards this year. To be recognised both as International Legal Team of the Year and as Private Client Legal Team of the Year reflects the outstanding work of our colleagues across the firm. At MTG, private client law is not part of what we do – it is all we do. These awards are a testament to the dedication, expertise and commitment of our team, and to the trust that clients and referrers place in us.

“We’d also like to congratulate our fellow finalists in both categories- Abreu Advogados, Bär & Karrer, Harneys, Lenz & Staehelin, Bilzin Sumberg, Fladgate and Wedlake Bell, as well as sending our thanks to award sponsors Loeb & Loeb and S&W.”

The STEP Private Client Awards are widely viewed as the hallmark of quality within the private client industry. Open globally to both STEP members and non-members, these prestigious Awards recognise and celebrate excellence among private client solicitors, lawyers, accountants, barristers, bankers, trust managers and financial advisors.
