Peter Lawrence From Ware & Kay Solicitors Retires After 47 Years

Peter Lawrence, a Consultant for Ware & Kay with offices in York, Wetherby & Malton was today marking his retirement after 47 years.

Peter celebrated an event with friends, colleagues, clients and business contacts at the Ware & Kay offices at Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York, on 16th August.  He has built up a long and distinguished reputation as one of the leading Commercial Property, Planning & Agricultural Lawyers in Yorkshire.

Having qualified in 1970, Peter came to North Yorkshire in 1972 and was a partner in a country town practice for 30 years followed by practising as a Sole Practitioner for 8 years.  He has been a highly valued member of the firm since the merger of his practice with Ware & Kay.

Peter said "I have seen and experienced many changes since I started. The office was a quieter place as we didn't have photocopiers, computers, faxes, mobile phones and life was a much slower pace.  I therefore feel it appropriate to bow out at the age of 71!  I will miss the people I have come in contact with daily- both staff and clients, many of whom I have known since the beginning of my career but I am now ready to start a new chapter.  I am excited about having the opportunity to do more travelling especially to France and Italy and singing is a huge part of my life both with the York Musical Society and Missing People's Choir with lots of events planned for the future.  I have also become a Guide showing visitors around places of interest and historic buildings so I will continue to be very busy!

Peter Kay, Senior Director, said "Peter has been an outstanding Consultant for the clients of Ware & Kay and has delivered exceptional service to the firm.  He has provided an influential voice and an in-depth level of expertise on all planning and agricultural matters and we wish we wish him a long and happy retirement and success for everything that lies ahead".
