Property enthusiast boosts Beverley team

A new solicitor has been appointed to our nationally recognised commercial property team.

Sarah Diak has joined the Beverley branch of the firm and will be involved in local, regional and national work for the department which is ranked in tier 1 for its expertise in the Legal 500 guide to law firms.

Born in Hull, Sarah went to St Mary’s college before studying law at Northumbria University where she graduated with first class honours. She carved out her specialism while training and starting her career at a law firm in Hull.

“I’m a self-confessed property nerd and I find property law to be very interesting and varied,” she said.

Sarah, who has a young son, said she was attracted to our firm due to its regional reach and flexible working ethos.

“It was time for the next stage of my career and I am very happy to have joined a firm that has such an excellent reputation for its work and its employee relations. I have been made to feel very welcome.”

Sarah will be involved in day-to-day landlord and tenant work, along with commercial property sales, purchases and refinances. She will also be assisting the wider firm, in particular on property-related insolvency matters.

Also joining Sarah in the Beverley office is commercial property executive, Brian Gray.

With 17 years’ experience in local government, Brian will be working directly with high-profile clients assisting on major projects relating to development which will benefit the community.

“I’m passionate about delivering a great service to my clients. I believe everyone should have access to the law and strive to ensure clients are satisfied with what we can do for them as a firm,” Brian said.

Brian, who is also a published writer, is looking forward to working locally, helping the people of Beverley and surrounding areas.
