A St Albans solicitor won silver for Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year at the prestigious Citywealth Power Women Awards 2015.

Katherine Rayden, founder and MD of Rayden Solicitors, was the sole attendee from Hertfordshire in awards.

She said: “I am delighted that my work for my specialist family law firm in St Albans has been recognised.

“It is a recognition of our expertise and ability to represent clients to the highest standards irrespective of our geographic location.”

The awards ceremony was hosted by Dame Esther Rantzen DBE and raised more than £4,000 for Cancer Research UK.
