‘Well-liked and respected’ Harrogate lawyer to boost Berwins’ private client practice
A leading Harrogate firm has announced a new appointment at senior level in a show of commitment to the local market.
Berwins Solicitors has appointed well-known private client specialist Mark Jones to strengthen the firm’s expanding Life team.
A former partner and head of department at a number of firms in the Harrogate district, Mark Jones has enjoyed a stellar legal career and is exceptionally well-liked and respected.
Commenting on the move, Mark said: “Berwins has a reputation as one of the leading practices in our area.
"With a focus on delivering outstanding results with high levels of care, it has an outlook which matches my own.”
"I’ve watched the firm grow and develop over much of its 40-year history so, as we prepare to mark that milestone and look to the future, it’s thrilling to be able to contribute to the next chapter of the Berwins story.
While Mark has extensive experience in all areas of private client law, he focuses on supporting clients in inheritance tax planning, the creation and administration of trusts and the administration of estates.
Head of department, Derek Hellawell, said the appointment formed part of ongoing expansion for the company.
“We know that, as Berwins looks to use investment to unlock a new phase of growth, one of the most important considerations is attracting the right people,” he said.
"Mark more than fulfils that criteria and his combination of deep expertise, strong professional connections and his insightful nature are already highlighting the value he brings.”
“Mark’s appointment as a senior consultant is one of a number we will be making within the team over the coming months, boosting resilience and expertise.
"Combined with developments in technology and process, this will mean that the Life team is in a strong position to proactively support the needs of clients and contacts alike.”
Founded by Paul Berwin, the roots of the firm go back to 1986.
Based at North Park Road, Berwins Solicitors has grown over the years from a local practice to a regional leader with offices in Leeds and Sheffield
