Merger With Sykes Lee Brydson

Ware & Kay are pleased to announce the merger with Sykes Lee & Brydson.   The combined practices will operate under the name Ware & Kay headed by Peter Kay as Senior Partner.

Ware & Kay identified that Sykes Lee & Brydson share a similar ethos and approach to its own and welcomed the additional staff and most importantly its clients as part of a planned expansion strategy.

Peter Kay said: "The primary driving force behind the merger was a shared desire to increase the legal services from which both sets of clients could benefit.  As a larger firm our business clients benefit from a much broader range of expertise, including corporate, commercial and employment teams, an extensive litigation and dispute resolution capability and the addition of niche know-how in fields like mediation.  The families and individuals we serve also benefit greatly with the availability of an expanded number of wills & probate solicitors, conveyancing solicitors, and a larger number of family lawyers.

In analysing our collective strengths, objectives and the needs of our clients the merger between Ware & Kay and Sykes Lee & Brydson seemed the most natural step forward.  We believe that Sykes Lee & Brydson complements Ware & Kay and together we can offer an exciting and fresh approach to legal services within York, Wetherby and the wider Yorkshire region."

Peter Joslin presently Senior Partner with Sykes Lee & Brydson added: "The news has given a huge boost to the team, who are delighted to now be part of such a progressive and successful larger practice."

The firm will increase by 13 people from 54 to 66 staff and 5 partners.

Clients will get the benefit of our free car parking with easy access using public transport & Park & Ride.
