Harrogate-based law firm Berwins has appointed Danielle Day as MD, succeeding founder Paul Berwin, who has been instrumental in the growth of the business for almost four decades.
She said: “I’m naturally honoured to take on the leadership of such a well-respected firm, especially at such an exciting time for us.
“Berwins has a proud history of supporting businesses to thrive and people to navigate often challenging periods in their lives. The firm has been able to do that, not just by building a team of legal experts, but by developing and practicing a culture of exceptional care. That’s an approach I’m passionate about and, as we prepare to launch a number of new initiatives, it’s one that will be at the heart of all we do.”
Danielle has been a member of Berwins’ board since 2022. She has also successfully led the firm’s Family Team to sustained growth, championing the development of new and cutting-edge ways of supporting clients through difficult circumstances.
Paul Berwin said: “Since joining the firm over a decade ago, Danielle has shown herself to be both an excellent lawyer and a gifted leader.
“Those gifts, coupled with an innovative approach to problem solving, mean that she is ideally suited to take the firm forward as Managing Director. Just as it is a pleasure to work alongside her, I will take great delight in seeing her contribute to what promises to be a bright future for the firm.”
Paul remains a director and active force within the firm, focusing his attention on Berwins Corporate and Commercial work, both as a departmental head and a standout lawyer.
