The accolade is awarded to those who attain a mark of 70 per cent or above and those who top global results across their specific programme.

Ms Albizzati said the award was a milestone which will continue to motivate her work going forward. 

She said: “I’m honoured to receive this award from STEP – it’s a huge personal achievement and one which brings me a lot of pride. The STEP Advanced Certificate in Taxation of Trusts and Estates (Scotland) is a rigorous course, and to be recognised in this way is both fulfilling and motivating.”

Linsey Dagger, head of personal law at Gibson Kerr, said: “We are incredibly proud to see Sara’s dedication to her practice recognised on a global scale.”

“It is a clear reflection of her exceptional legal knowledge and commitment to delivering the highest standard of service to our clients.”
