A Harrogate-based law firm has launched a York office at the newly-opened York Guildhall.
The move will help Berwins meet a growing demand from clients based in and around the city.
Managing director Paul Berwin said: “York is a natural fit for us. As a firm, we have a long track record of supporting businesses and individuals in the area and expanding our presence there will enable us to better serve their needs.
“As well as supporting clients, committing to a physical office – much as we have in Harrogate, Leeds, Sheffield and London – also enables us to fully play our part as a member of the city’s burgeoning business community.
“That dedication to caring for both client and community is at the heart of the way Berwins has operated since day one and will remain so as we continue to grow as a business.”
The Guildhall, parts of which date back to the 15th century, has recently undergone a multi-million-pound redevelopment, revitalising the site and making it fit for 21st century use as a base for businesses and centre for the wider community.
Oliver King, a York lawyer and member of Berwins’ corporate team, said: “We’re thrilled to be part of what is the most exciting developments I have seen in over a decade of practising in York.”
Berwins will support clients with a full range of legal advice from commercial matters to dispute resolution, family law to property.
