Blandy & Blandy has been supporting the charity's Free Will Service for more than 25 years, and through that, has also facilitated more than £2.15 million in legacy gifts pledged to the charity.
Caroline Casagranda, a partner in Blandy & Blandy’s wills, probate, tax and trusts team, said: "We ae very proud to have been recognised by Cancer Research UK in this way and would like to thank Sue Robertson for visiting our offices to present our firm this this award.
"One in two people will get Cancer in their lifetime and, like most people, many of us at the firm have friends or family who have been affected by Cancer. Our colleagues’ work and our clients’ pledges mean that we are helping to fund vital research for future generations."
Samantha Devlin, head of legacies at Cancer Research UK, added: "We all reach a stage at some point in our lives where we start to look ahead and consider what will happen to our financial affairs in the future, when we may no longer be around.
"Our Free Will Service is provided without obligation and we are grateful to Blandy & Blandy for the expertise and sensitivity they show in providing clear information and guidance to help people make the best choices for them."
