We are celebrating a win for the second year running, in the national LawNet awards! Our Private Client team were awarded ‘Team of the Year (Individual Law) 2025/26' at LawNet’s annual conference and awards dinner at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales.
Congratulating the winners, LawNet’s Chief Executive, Helen Hamilton-Shaw, said:
“Against strong competition, the Berry & Lamberts Private Client team stand out for an approach that anticipates clients’ needs and consistently delivers exceptional service with empathy and integrity. Their proactive, community-driven and highly personal approach ensures clients feel supported at every stage, often going far beyond what might typically be expected from a legal adviser.
Alongside an impressive financial contribution to the firm, their outstanding client feedback reflects how their community-first mindset and collaborative ethos have strengthened both their firm and their local reputation. Truly worthy winners.”
The Private Client team deal with matters including wills, powers of attorney, probate and inheritance tax and trusts as well as the management of affairs for elderly and vulnerable people. The team are committed to personal development - two of the partners are qualified Trust and Estate Practitioners (TEP), with other members of the team members of the Sevenoaks Chambers of Commerce Young Professionals, The Association of Lifetime Lawyers and the local Tunbridge Wells Law Society.
Setting themselves apart from other local law firms, our team offer home visits and hospice/hospital visits at no extra charge to the client.
Partner and Head of Private Client, David Lea, said: “I am immensely proud of our team. Their passionate, pro-active approach ensures that every client feels genuinely listened to and understood as they navigate life’s most sensitive and significant moments. We are thrilled to have been recognised with this prestigious accolade by LawNet.”
