Legal firm Benedek Lewin has hired a new head of property.

Declan McKervey, an experienced property lawyer, took up his new post last Friday and will work with property counsel Stephen Males.

Mr McKervey said: “I look forward to working with Stephen Males to grow and develop the firms’s property practice.

“I believe in Bermuda and share the firm’s commitment to providing a first-class service to clients and to providing opportunities for the next generation of Bermudian lawyers.”

The firm has also recruited Randell Woolridge as a senior executive conveyancing secretary.

Benedek Lewin, based in Hamilton’s Par-la-Ville Road, opened its doors in August 2014.
