Beth Williams announced as a winner in the STEP Excellence Awards

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Bethany (Beth) Williams, Associate Solicitor in the Wills, Tax, Trusts and Probate team has received a STEP Excellence Award for being one of the highest-scoring students from the 2022 sittings across all STEP exams globally!

“The STEP Excellence Awards recognise the top-scoring student at distinction level (70 per cent and above) per STEP exam or assignment, Essay Route, and the highest-scoring graduates across each of the STEP Diplomas, aggregated across the four diploma papers. The individuals listed here represent the best and the brightest practitioners – many of whom will be names to watch out for in the years ahead.”  (STEP 2023)

Beth completed the STEP Advanced Certificate in the Administration of Estates (England and Wales) and scored a top-level distinction.

We wish Beth many congratulations on this incredible achievement.

Kathryn Smith Cowap, Partner, comments:

“STEP members (or TEPs) are recognised worldwide as being experts in their field, backed up with quality experience and formal qualifications.  The advanced certificates are no mean feat and to be awarded as the top-scoring student for this particular assessment is a remarkable achievement.  It goes without saying that as a firm we are immensely proud of Beth.  This qualification shows that not only does she have the specialist knowledge and skills, but also the commitment and determination necessary to achieve such an accolade.  We very much look forward to watching Beth progress further here at Wansbroughs.”
