Ridley & Hall has opened a Harrogate office with six former members of the Berwins Solicitors team.
The law firm agreed to take on more than 400 family and property cases after Berwins filed notice of its intention to appoint an administrator.
Ridley & Hall said it had contacted all clients whose cases were transferring to let them know who would be handling their files.
The new office is based at the WorkWell Offices at Copthall Bridge. Solicitor Michelle Crowhurst will lead the residential property team, working alongside Rachael Fell, Alice Hoyle and Jenny Spence.
Danielle Day will lead the family law team, joined by Rachael Lyon. Day has represented clients in the UK and abroad in multimillion-pound divorce and separation cases.
Emma Pearmaine, managing director of Ridley & Hall, said:
“We’ve recruited some exceptional legal talent and we are delighted to welcome them to the Ridley & Hall team.
"We know they will bring a great deal of expertise to our business and ensure our Harrogate office is established on a solid footing.”
She added:
“Harrogate has long been on our radar as a potential office base and so recent events have just accelerated that plan.”
Founded in Huddersfield in 1927, Ridley & Hall now employs more than 120 people across five offices.
Its other branches are in Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract and Barnsley.
