Berwins expands collaborative practice with top lawyer hire

Yorkshire law firm Berwins has boosted its family law credentials with the appointment of a well-known collaborative law specialist.

William Kaye brings more than 20 years of specialist family law experience to the team at Berwins.

Previously head of the family law team at a well-known regional firm, Kaye has spent much of his career in York, where he has built a reputation among both clients and professional contacts for offering valuable, proactive advice, and achieving fair and efficient outcomes.

Commenting on his move to Berwins, Kaye said: “I’m delighted to have joined the team. Berwins is well known for offering exceptional levels of client care and for getting the best outcomes through its commitment to alternative dispute resolution processes, including collaborative family law.”

“I have long been a passionate advocate for this approach, and it is fantastic to be working with a talented team of experienced professionals who share that belief.”

The appointment forms part of the firm’s ongoing growth plans, as Danielle Day, head of family law at Berwins, explained: “Berwins was an early adopter of collaborative practice and has seen this area of law grow exponentially over the last decade. That increase in popularity is largely down to the way it helps clients retain control of a difficult situation and unlock a brighter future for themselves and their families.”

“With his wealth of professional experience, William is a huge asset to the team as we seek to maintain and further develop that approach, and his appointment a significant coup for the firm.”
