Rising legal star Kate Arnold named in prestigious young achievers' list

Young – and a rising star.

It's an especially notable achievement in any profession, especially the complex legal field, so associate solicitor Kate Arnold has every reason to be proud.

Kate, who works in the private client division at Tunbridge Wells-based law firm Cripps Harries Hall LLP, has been named in this year's "Top 35 under 35", published by Private Client Practitioner, a leading legal website and news service.

To be named on the list, which recognises the rising stars of the private client professional community as a whole - including lawyers, accountants, wealth managers and IFA's - is a major honour.

Kate, who began her current role after training at Cripps Harries Hall, advises clients with international interests both on lifetime succession planning and cross border issues (particularly French).

She frequently works with specialist partners on complex high value legal and tax projects.

Kate said: "I am delighted firstly to have been nominated, and then to be recognised as one of the top practitioners in the country.

"This motivates me further to achieve the highest standard of practice possible as I develop my career at Cripps."

Myles McIntosh, head of the private client division at Cripps, said: "This is a well-deserved achievement for Kate. She is a real credit to the firm where she has shown exceptional aptitude as a lawyer achieving superb results for our clients.

"This recognition is an indication of the quality of the private client lawyers working at Cripps and the service clients rightly expect from a firm of our reputation."
