James Talbot, formerly of Aviva, has joined the digital team – which has seen rapid growth in demand for its services – following its further recognition in the Legal 500 and major new client wins.

As well as expanding its team, Berwins has revamped its Harrogate office and digital presence.

Director Carolynn Peace said: “Our Digital Law Team is expanding rapidly and its success was what attracted James to come on board. With this growth, we felt it was the right time to roll out a new website with the additional functionality that our sophisticated digital clients expect.”

Berwins was one of the region’s pioneers in advising technology companies and digital agencies with their particular needs, and now has an international as well as a national clientele, operating from its Leeds and Harrogate bases.

James Talbot said: “The opportunity to work with the Berwins Digital team and its world-class clients, and be part of the future growth and development of this sector is tremendously exciting.”
