La Voix to host 2027 Probate Industry Awards as regional law firms take centre stage

The 2027 Probate Industry Awards will put regional private client law firms in the national spotlight, with La Voix hosting the ninth annual ceremony on Thursday 22 April 2027 at the Assembly Hall, Church House Westminster.

Known across the profession as The Probies, the awards are a premier national event bringing the probate industry together. They recognise the people, teams and businesses whose work helps families navigate inheritance and estate administration.

A major focus for 2027 is recognising private client practices beyond the firms that already command a national profile. Dedicated regional probate law firm categories will celebrate excellence in London and the South East, the South West, the North East, the North West, the Midlands and Wales.

David Stoch, director of publicity agency, Meerkat PR, and founder of the Probate Industry Awards in 2019, said: “This year marks a major shift in how we recognise private client law firms across the country. We are actively reaching out to regional practices whose excellent work has too often gone without national recognition. The awards will bring those firms to the fore and give their expertise, client care and contribution to their communities the profile they deserve.”

The awards span the full breadth of the profession, recognising achievement in will writing, estate planning, probate research, property, technology and specialist services. They also celebrate people at every stage of their careers, from emerging talent in the Rising Star category to those whose lasting contribution is honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award.

La Voix has spent a decade touring theatres with her live band, combining powerful live vocals, comedy and cabaret. Her performances have taken her to Theatre Royal Drury Lane and Brighton Dome, and in 2026 she starred as Miss Hannigan in Annie. Her television appearances include Strictly Come Dancing, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and Britain’s Got Talent.

The event's headline sponsor is Property Solutions Group (PSG), the RICS-regulated specialist trusted by more than 2,000 law firms nationwide to protect, manage and sell estate properties from instruction to completion. Other companies helping bring the awards together include easyStorage, Untangled (previously Ampla Finance), Just Clear, Finders International, The Estate Registry, Move With Us, Probate.Auction, ProGen Research and Ramsdens Solicitors, reflecting the range of specialist services and legal expertise that support families through probate.
