Ison Harrison has opened its latest branch in Wakefield, taking its total network of offices to 17.
Since becoming a 100% employee-owned business at the beginning of the year, Ison Harrison has experienced significant growth in the number of people and businesses that it acts for. The opening of its 17th office will further strengthen the firm’s foothold within Yorkshire.
The new Ison Harrison Wakefield office, located at 4-6 Cross Street, boasts a team of legal experts led by branch manager Faye Chadwick (pictured, centre), a conveyancing solicitor and expert in new build property law.
Chadwick joined the property team in 2020 and has 10 years of experience working in conveyancing.
Joining Chadwick in the new office will be conveyancing colleagues Charlotte Oxby, Katie Henstock and Dayne Bailey-Mayfield. Arooj Begum will provide a family law service. The firm also plans to recruit for a variety of support roles.

Mackenzie, who is from Wakefield, is the firm’s divisional head of wills and probate. Since he joined the firm, he has grown the wills and probate department to be one of the largest of its type in the area. Ison Harrison holds more than 50,000 wills for people across Wakefield and Yorkshire.
In addition to the key services of property, family law and wills and probate, the new Wakefield office will handle all legal matters, personal and business, via its network of regional offices and the vast and broad experience of its in-house lawyers.
Ison Harrison managing partner Jonathan Wearing (pictured, left) said: “We’re excited to open our 17th office in the region, which is our first foray into Wakefield. This latest launch sees us further consolidate our position in West Yorkshire.”
“It continues our progressive expansion enabling us to broaden our offering of the full range of legal services through a network of offices spanning the Yorkshire region. Our clients value the ability to access local legal advice by approaching a large and established modern law firm with a prominent high street presence to meet their needs.”
“We are very much looking forward to continuing to establish the Ison Harrison name in Wakefield.”
