Yorkshire law firm Berwins has added to its leadership team with the appointment of a new director.
Danielle Day (pictured, right), who leads the firm’s family law unit, also joins the Berwins board.
The achievement is the latest in a string of promotions for Day, who has been recognised as a ‘rising star’ by legal sector guides and as a finalist at the Yorkshire Legal Awards.
Commenting on the appointment, senior partner Paul Berwin (pictured, left) said: “Danielle has made a fantastic contribution to Berwins during her time with the firm. She has combined the development of a burgeoning professional reputation with initiatives which have advanced both the firm and the legal profession more widely.”
“Latterly, she has proven herself to be a shrewd manager through leadership of a family law team ranked in the top tier of those in the region by industry guides. Her appointment to the board recognises that and her ability to deliver support the continued growth of the business.”
The announcement comes after an impressive 12 months for Berwins, which has seen investment in people, processes and technology matched by growth in all areas of work.
Reflecting on the appointment, Day added: “As a firm, Berwins is in an exciting place to be. Having navigated the unprecedented circumstances the past 16 months brought, the business is in a great place to continue supporting clients with the highest levels of both service and advice.”
