A LAW firm has achieved one of its best financial performances since it was founded in 1812.

Ware & Kay Solicitors which has offices in York, Wetherby and Malton, is pushing on with the next stage of its development after a strong 2020, and has appointed David Hyams as managing director to deliver the firm's growth strategy.
