 The British Wills And Probate Awards 2020 Shortlist Is Coming

The British Wills And Probate Awards 2020 Shortlist Is Coming

We are pleased to announce that the first shortlisters for the British Wills and Probate Awards 2020 will be announced in the Today’s Wills & Probate weekly newsletter next Friday 31 July. Individual categories in the shortlist will be revealed daily with the full list published on the 7 August.

The awards are brought to you by Today’s Wills and Probate, alongside headline sponsor, Arken.legal (UK) Ltd, a leader in software solutions for the legal services industry.

Dave Newick, Managing Director of Arken.legal, said: “It’s been a year like no other – providing peace of mind during the limitations of lockdown has been a challenge that our industry confronted, and continues to confront, face-on. On behalf of myself and the Arken.legal team – thank you. We’re excited to see who’s been shortlisted and look forward to recognising the achievements that have been made during this time of restriction. Good luck everyone!”

Karen Babington, Director of the Practical Vision Network who runs the Today’s Wills and Probate trade publication, said: “I want to wish everyone who has entered the awards the best of luck. The judges had some difficult decisions to make, and I don’t envy being in their shoes.

“I want to take the opportunity to thank the judges who conducted their role in an exemplary fashion during these unprecedented times.”
