Higgs trio celebrate STEP success

Article date:  21/09/2011

Three lawyers from Higgs & Sons' private client team have recently made progress towards joining a global legal organisation.

Solicitor Sarah Potter is now a fully qualified member of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). Fellow solicitor, Sarah Darby, has achieved her second distinction in two papers and is well on her way to becoming a full member of the organisation. Victoria Knight is qualifying for membership through the thesis route and has passed two of the three stages. She is hoping to achieve full membership in the next year.

STEP is the professional body for the trust and estate profession across the world, providing members with a local, national and international learning and business network.

Peter Gosling, head of Higgs' highly respected private client department, said: "Our congratulations go to Sarah, Victoria and Sarah for their achievements. It's excellent news for them, the department and our clients."

Higgs' private client team, which is one of the largest in the Midlands, acts for many families and trusts across the Midlands and beyond and is based at Higgs' headquarters at 3 Waterfront Business Park in Brierley Hill.
