Leading Cheshire-based law firm SAS Daniels has consolidated its leadership team with the appointment of four new Members.

As an LLP, SAS Daniels is led by its members. Until now, the firm has had six members: Jeremy Orrell (Chief Executive Officer), Kaye Whitby, Justine Clowes, Nigel Read, Andy Booth and Shelley Chesworth.

 Effective immediately, Paul Tyrer, Katie Hodson, Steven Percy, and Helen Kelly have joined the existing members of the firm, marking an important step in the continued growth and strategic development of the practice.

Each of the new members holds a key managerial role within the business: Paul Tyrer is joint head of the Congleton office and has been with the firm for nine years; Katie Hodson is head of the employment team and joint head of the Stockport office, having dedicated 21 years to the firm; Helen Kelly, also with 21 years of service, is head of the private client team and joint head of the Stockport office; and Steven Percy, who leads the commercial property team, has been with SAS Daniels for 12 years. 

Notably, both Steven and Helen began their careers at the firm as trainee solicitors – a true testament to their commitment, in addition to SAS Daniels’ strong culture of internal development and long-term progression.

Jeremy Orrell, chief executive officer, SAS Daniels, commented: “We are extremely proud to welcome Paul, Katie, Steven, and Helen to the leadership team as members. Their appointments reflect not only their individual contributions and leadership, but also our broader strategy to build a sustainable and progressive future for the firm.

“In a challenging legal market and economic climate, ensuring the long-term strength of our business is vital. These appointments are a key element of our future-proofing efforts, alongside significant investments in IT infrastructure, including a new case management system, a focus on staff recruitment and internal promotions, and the renewal of our office leases.”
