In a move that strengthens Yorkshire’s legal landscape, Han Law Co and Inspire Legal Group have officially joined forces in a strategic merger that marks a bold new chapter for both firms.
As part of the partnership, Han Law Co’s founder, Hannah Strawbridge, assumes a key leadership role at Inspire Legal Group as Head of Legal, a shareholder, and joins the Board of Directors. She will work alongside Inspires founder and CEO Natalie Foster and partner Bill Tilley, forming a leadership team rooted in innovation, collaboration, and a strong dedication to client care.
The merger marks a significant milestone for both firms, signalling a new era of growth, innovation, and impact, led by two of Yorkshire’s most respected legal entrepreneurs. Together, these dynamic businesswomen are setting a new standard for legal services in Yorkshire, adopting technology, remote working, and a client-first approach.
The newly expanded team of lawyers will continue to operate remotely, offering enhanced support across a broad spectrum of legal services, including Employment Law & HR, Litigation, Residential Property, Disability & Discrimination, and Commercial & Corporate Law, further growing Access to Justice for all ILG clients. A dedicated client services team will all be based at the firm’s HQ in Scarborough.

“This merger is more than a business move, it’s a meeting of minds,” added Hannah Strawbridge, “Natalie and I share a vision for modern, accessible legal services, and we are proud to build something truly special here in Yorkshire. We are united by our shared values, and a forward-thinking approach.”
