Merger With Peter Lawrence

Law firms Ware & Kay, based in Peasholme Green, York, and P J Lawrence of Slingsby, have merged.

Peter Kay, the senior partner of Ware & Kay, which employs five partners and 45 staff in York and Wetherby, said the merger would create an even strong team for the firm and a history of more than two centuries.  He said: "Bringing both firms together presents a great opportunity to build on the quality of support we offer already as a full service law firm to our clients now and in the future across Yorkshire, while maintaining the close client relationships that are at the heart of our approach."

Peter Lawrence of P J Lawrence said "Ware & Kay is a very long-established and highly regarded firm and this merger will allow a wider service to be provided to clients.  All my clients will benefit from the resources, reach and experience that Ware & Kay brings and this is the best way to deliver an even better offering to clients who demand both a broad range of high quality services and excellent value.  We are really looking forward to working together."
