Blackadders awarded STEP platinum certification

Blackadders has become one of the first firms in Scotland to receive an accreditation recognising its work in family inheritance and succession planning.

The firm has been awarded a Platinum Employer Partner certification by STEP (The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), the global professional association for practitioners who specialise in the area of family inheritance and succession planning.

“Securing this accreditation underlines our commitment to ensuring our team staff are trained to the highest possible standard and providing the best service to our clients,” said Blackadders chairman Scott Williamson.

“As one of few Scottish-based firms to receive this accolade, it is a great achievement for us to be recognised by such a well-respected and professional body.”

Jenni Hutchinson, head of employer engagement at STEP, said: “Blackadders is to be commended on an excellent application which was thorough, detailed and demonstrated excellent learning and development provision.

“This was underpinned by evidence of effective communications across the whole firm, with a supportive, strong leadership and positive work and learning culture. Many congratulations on this well-deserved accreditation.”
