Berkson Family Law expands team with five hires

Berkson Family Law has strengthened its team with five new appointments at its Liverpool headquarters as part of its 2025 growth strategy.

Rachael Hynds, Ellie Knight, Ellie Worthington, Caoimhe Melaugh, and Hannah Playdon bring a mix of legal experience and fresh perspectives, further enhancing the firm’s ability to support clients across a range of family law matters.

With backgrounds ranging from early-career professionals to aspiring solicitors, the new hires bolster the firm’s expertise in child arrangements, domestic violence protection orders and public law proceedings.

For nearly 100 years, Berkson Family Law has been committed to providing expert, client-focused legal services, combining decades of experience with modern legal knowledge.

Adele Schofield, director and children’s law solicitor at Berkson Family Law, said: "We’ve been around since the 1930s, and while much has changed over the years, our focus on building a strong and supportive team remains the same. 

“We believe that combining different levels of experience and viewpoints helps us deliver practical, straightforward advice for our clients.

“2025 brings new opportunities for growth, not just for the firm, but for the staff joining us. 

“By investing in our team’s development, we can ensure that our clients continue to receive the best possible support. 

“We’re very pleased to welcome Rachael, Ellie Knight, Ellie Worthington, Caoimhe and Hannah to Berkson Family Law.

“We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built over the years, but equally proud of our ability to adapt and grow. 

“These new appointments reflect our commitment to delivering the highest standard of service.”
