Danielle succeeds founder Paul Berwin, who has been instrumental in the growth of the business for almost four decades.
The move, which is part of strategic developments within the business, will see Danielle oversee an exciting growth agenda, which is designed to cement the firm’s standing as one of the region’s foremost legal practices.
Commenting on the appointment, Danielle 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, who is recognised by industry guides as a leading Yorkshire lawyer, 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.
“Since first joining the firm over a decade ago, Danielle has shown herself to be both an excellent lawyer and a gifted leader” said Director, Paul Berwin.
“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.
