Finders International continues award-winning year with double success at Modern Law Private Client Awards

Finders International, the UK's largest full-service probate genealogy firm, has won two prestigious honours at the 2026 Modern Law Private Client Awards, underlining its role as a strategic partner to private client practitioners across the UK.

The firm collected both the Private Client Support Team of the Year and Excellence in Private Client Technology & Services awards at the ceremony, which celebrates excellence, innovation and outstanding service across the private client sector.

The award-winning entries recognised Finders International's continued investment in supporting solicitors through increasingly complex probate and estate administration matters.

Over the past 18 months alone, the firm has successfully traced more than 18,000 heirs across 75 countries, providing specialist probate research, heir tracing, international asset recovery and due diligence services to solicitors, local authorities and other professional clients.

Alongside its casework, the business has expanded its practitioner support offering through initiatives including its Panel Solicitor Programme, Section 27 Notice Placement Service, and Development Hub, providing practical resources designed to help legal professionals manage estates more efficiently, reduce risk and improve client service outcomes.

The second award recognised the firm's continued investment in technology and service delivery, including a major upgrade of its CRM platform, creating a faster, more secure, and more integrated experience for private client practitioners while improving communication, workflow management and case transparency.

Finders International also sponsored the Probate & Estate Administration Team of the Year category at this year's awards, where Myerson Solicitors received Highly Commended recognition and Octopus Legacy was announced as the winner.

Simonne Llewellyn, managing director of Finders International, said:

"To receive two Modern Law Private Client Awards, following our success at the Probate Industry Awards earlier this year, is a wonderful endorsement of the work our team delivers for private client practitioners every day.

As estates become increasingly complex and international, we're continuing to invest in specialist expertise, technology and practitioner support so solicitors have the confidence that they can rely on us for even the most challenging cases. Whether we're tracing missing beneficiaries across multiple jurisdictions, recovering overseas assets or providing practical services that simplify estate administration, our focus is always on helping practitioners achieve the very best outcomes for their clients."

The latest success continues a strong run of industry recognition for Finders International. Earlier this year, the firm was named Probate Research Firm of the Year at the 2026 Probate Industry Awards, where it also won Best Use of Technology.
