For the third consecutive year, Charles Russell Speechlys is proud to announce four associates listed in the prestigious eprivateclient Top 35 Under 35 rankings, demonstrating the outstanding talent of “next generation” lawyers at the firm. Over the past few months, senior practitioners from the private wealth community have been nominating “upcoming stars” within the private client advisory professions (from the UK and Crown Dependencies), including lawyers, accountants, trustees, residential property buying agents and other private client professionals.
eprivateclient received just under 500 nominations from 79 different firms and after a rigorous research process looking at each individuals’ achievements over the past 12 months, career progression and quality, seniority and extensiveness of nominations, have this morning announced the 70 individuals (35 male and 35 female) selected this year.
