The Surrey Law Society Legal Awards are among the leading legal awards in the region, celebrating excellence in legal expertise, client service, leadership and community impact.

Catherine Fisher, Managing Partner at Morr & Co, said:

To be recognised across five categories at this year’s Surrey Law Society Legal Awards is a fantastic achievement and one that reflects the exceptional talent, dedication and collaboration across our firm. We are particularly pleased to see recognition for three of our specialist teams – Court of Protection, Private Client and Property – all of which work tirelessly to deliver outstanding results and support for our clients. It is equally rewarding to see two of our colleagues recognised individually.

Holly Chantler’s nomination for Outstanding Surrey Lawyer of the Year is richly deserved and reflects not only her technical expertise and commitment to clients, but also her leadership within the firm and the wider profession. Rebekah Sutcliffe’s Rising Star nomination highlights the next generation of talent within Morr & Co and is testament to the hard work, professionalism and potential she demonstrates every day.

Catherine adds:

These shortlists showcase the depth of expertise we have across the firm and our shared commitment to delivering excellent client service. We are incredibly proud of everyone who has contributed to this success and look forward to celebrating with our fellow finalists in October.

The SLS Legal Awards 2026 winners will be announced on 15 October at G Live, Guildford.
