Praxis earns hat trick of STEP Private Client Awards nominations

Praxis has been shortlisted for Trust Company of the Year (Large Firm) at the prestigious 2026 STEP Private Client Awards for the third consecutive year, reinforcing the strength of its independent, international private wealth proposition.

The nomination follows shortlistings in 2024 and 2025, demonstrating sustained recognition for Praxis’ client service, technical expertise and long-term commitment to trust, independence and reliability. This year’s awards programme attracted a high number of nominations, with 374 submissions from 26 countries.

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 am immensely proud that our global team has been shortlisted once again. To receive this recognition for a third consecutive year reflects the consistency of our approach, our independence and the trust we build through long-term client relationships.”

Robert Fearis, Group CEO, added: “My congratulations to our Private Wealth division. This is an outstanding achievement that highlights the depth of our expertise and client service.

“Given the large number of submissions, STEP has described the competition as ‘intense’, so to be shortlisted again is a testament to the reliability, dedication and expertise of our global team.”

Winners will be announced at a ceremony in London in September.
