Raworths appoints private wealth partner

Harrogate-based law firm Raworths has strengthened its trusts, wills and estates team with the appointment of Karl Dembicki as partner.

Karl joins from London firm Russells, where he led its private wealth team for the past six years and advised clients across a range of private client matters, including those in the entertainment sector.

Karl said: “Raworths’ reputation for exceptional private client work and its genuine commitment to clients made the firm stand out immediately.

“Over the years I’ve been fortunate to build a strong private client practice, including several household names across the worlds of media and entertainment for whom I have acted as a trusted adviser on personal and estate planning matters. 

“Many have chosen to continue working with me and have already transitioned their work to Raworths following my move to Harrogate, which reflects the trust developed over the years. 

“I’m delighted to be joining such a highly regarded team and look forward to contributing to the continued growth of the firm’s private client practice.”

Karl’s appointment supports the continued growth of Raworths’ 25-strong trusts, wills and estates team, one of the largest specialist private client teams in Yorkshire.

The firm employs more than 70 people at its Harrogate headquarters and provides integrated commercial and private client legal services.

Rachel Tunnicliffe, head of private client services at Raworths, added: “Karl’s superb communication skills and empathetic approach make him an ideal fit for the firm. 

“His existing client portfolio will give our talented team the opportunity to apply their outstanding legal knowledge to a range of issues. 

“In addition, the expertise we offer from our wider private client and commercial specialists will be extremely beneficial to Karl’s clients. 

“What sets Raworths apart is that we attract people who are not only technically excellent, but also genuinely care about their clients and apply their expertise with sensitivity and creativity. 

“Karl embodies these attributes, and his appointment is part of our evolution as a firm as we look to continually widen our breadth of expertise.”
