The awards are widely regarded as a benchmark of excellence within the probate and private client sector, recognising individuals, teams and firms who demonstrate exceptional standards of technical expertise, quality of service, client care, professional integrity and innovation, as well as a meaningful contribution to the development of the probate and Court of Protection landscape.

Natalie Payne’s Probate Lawyer of the Year award reflects her technical expertise, sound judgement and empathetic approach to advising clients through complex probate matters.

Commenting on the firm’s success, Catherine Fisher, Managing Partner at Morr & Co, said:

We are incredibly proud of this recognition. Natalie’s award is richly deserved and reflects the care, skill and professionalism she brings to her work every day. To see our Court of Protection team recognised in this way is also a real testament to the collective expertise and commitment across the team. Holly’s Outstanding Achievement award recognises not just her leadership at Morr & Co, but her broader contribution to the profession and to some of society’s most vulnerable people.

Looking ahead, this recognition supports Morr & Co’s continued investment in its people, its specialist teams and the way it supports clients through complex and often sensitive matters.
