Praxis earns back-to-back STEP Private Client Awards nomination
Independent professional services group Praxis has been shortlisted for Trust Company of the Year (Large Firm) at the prestigious 2025 STEP Private Client Awards, reaffirming its position as a leading provider in the international private wealth sector.
The nomination marks consecutive recognition in this category following a shortlisting in 2024. This year’s awards attracted a high number of entries, with 337 submissions across 25 countries.
Now in their 20th year, the STEP Private Client Awards are widely regarded as the benchmark for excellence across the fiduciary and private client professions. Judged by a panel of industry peers, the awards recognise outstanding achievement in areas including technical expertise, client service, innovation and ethical conduct.
Commenting on the announcement, John Medina, Group Head of Private Wealth said: “I’m incredibly proud that our global team has been shortlisted once again. This recognition reflects our long-standing philosophy of building trust, fostering long-term relationships, and delivering tailored services to clients.”
Rob Fearis, Group CEO, added: “My congratulations to our Private Wealth division. This is a great achievement that highlights the depth of our expertise and leadership.
“Given the large number of submissions, STEP has described the competition as ‘intense’ so for an independent firm of our size to be shortlisted again alongside some of our industry’s most respected providers is a testament to the dedication and passion of our global team.”
Winners will be announced at a ceremony in London this September.
