SLS Wills and More Shortlisted for Three National Legal Growth Awards

We are incredibly proud to share some exciting news.

SLS Wills and More has been shortlisted in three categories at the 2026 Legal Growth Awards, recognising excellence, innovation and impact within the legal sector across England and Wales.

For an independent estate planning business based in Aylesham, Kent, this national recognition is a significant milestone.

The Shortlisted Categories

SLS Wills and More has been shortlisted for:

  • Innovative Marketing

  • Best Social Media

In addition, our founder Sara Sheppard has been personally shortlisted for the prestigious:

  • Recognition Award

To be recognised across multiple categories is a true honour and reflects both the strength of our business and Sara’s longstanding contribution to the profession.

What Are the Legal Growth Awards?

The Legal Growth Awards celebrate outstanding firms and individuals working within the legal and professional services sector. Entries are assessed by an independent judging panel against published criteria, with a focus on evidence, impact and quality.

Being shortlisted represents a high standard of achievement and places SLS Wills and More alongside respected names from across the sector.

Built on Experience and Professional Standards

SLS Wills and More was founded by Sara Sheppard, who brings 38 years of experience in Wills and estate planning.

Sara is:

  • A full TEP

  • A Fellow of the Society of Will Writers

  • A tutor for the College of Will Writing

  • A mentor to newly qualified Will writers

Her shortlist for the Recognition Award reflects decades of commitment to raising standards within the profession and supporting both clients and fellow practitioners.

Innovation with a Personal Touch

While awards are welcome, our focus has always remained the same: providing clear, compassionate and professional advice to families across Kent.

Estate planning is about more than paperwork. It is about protecting loved ones, reducing uncertainty, and ensuring wishes are properly recorded and legally sound.

Our nominations for Innovative Marketing and Best Social Media recognise the work we have done to educate and inform the public about the importance of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, making complex topics accessible and understandable.

Proud to Represent Kent

As a locally based business in Aylesham, we are proud to serve clients across Dover, Canterbury, Deal and the surrounding areas.

To see our work recognised on a national stage is both humbling and rewarding. We are grateful to our clients and professional connections for the trust and support that has made this possible.

If you would like advice on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, or wider estate planning in England and Wales, we would be pleased to help.

Contact SLS Wills and More today to arrange a friendly, no obligation conversation.
