Chief Legal Officer Helen Claydon Finalist at Modern Law Private Client Awards 2026

We received news late this May involving the Modern Law Private Client Awards 2026.

At Northwood Banks & Co, we have been congratulating our director and Chief Legal Officer, Helen Claydon as she has been shortlisted for two awards. These are the highly esteemed Private Client Lawyer of the Year and Private Client Leader of the Year.

Also, across our parent and sister companies, there is good news all around. HAIG Legal Group is up for Private Client Firm of the Year. The team of Simpler Law are excited as their Administration Client Support Team has been nominated for their first award, Private Client Support Team of the Year! They're also shortlisted for Wills and Estate Planning Team of the Year.

However it doesn’t stop there, as Fidelis Legal Services is also being recognised in the Private Client Team of the Year - Midlands & Wales category and Fidelis Employee of the Year, Zoe Phillips,  is up for Paralegal of the Year.

We are so proud of the teams and our colleagues and look forward to the upcoming awards night at Coombe Abbey on the 1st of July in Coventry.
