Yorkshire law firm Berwins has made a significant investment in its life team with the appointment of three new private client lawyers.
Derek Hellawell, Kate Atkins and Jeremy Bristow have joined the team as part of ongoing investment in the firm’s personnel and will spearhead expansion in their respective areas.
Hellawell is a specialist in supporting clients dealing with the legal issues that arise after a bereavement, while Atkins has extensive Court of Protection experience, working with families when a loved one becomes unable to make their own decisions.
Bristow, who has previously worked at three top 100 law firms across London and South England, advises on a wide range of private client matters, including wills and succession planning.
The appointments will allow Berwins to maintain a focus on delivering the highest levels of legal expertise, while adding the resilience and expertise to further develop the practice, according to the law firm.
Commenting on the appointments, team leader Julie Jewers said “We’re thrilled to have appointed three lawyers of such high calibre. Each has a proven track record of proactively caring for clients and crafting legal solutions which make a real difference to the lives of those they support.”
“Their mix of expertise will blend with knowledge and experience already within the team and adding further resilience to the rounded service we offer to clients.”
