Insurance law firm Keoghs is opening a new office in Leeds as it continues expansion plans in Yorkshire, the Humber and surrounding areas.
Situated in the centre of the city, the new office will house teams from Keoghs corporate and sector risk practice, which is led by partner Andrew Evans (pictured).
The office will also house several other teams, including the credit hire group led by partner Gary Herring.
The opening of the Keoghs Leeds office will allow the corporate and sector risk team to position, integrate and align its single source services more closely for major and mid-market corporates and the associated broking and insurer markets across the region.
The announcement follows the recruitment in 2022 of corporate and sector risk partners Sally Richmond and Jo Francis, along with a team of 20 from rival firms.
Commenting on the new office, Evans said: “Client and market demand has meant that we have wanted to be in Yorkshire, the Humber and surroundings markets for the past couple of years and we are delighted that this aspect of our strategy is now being realised.
“We cannot wait to work with all of our new colleagues and clients joining us, and to welcome even more over the coming months and years.
“It’s great to be here, making a positive difference in this region and enjoying our work and the area as we do so.”
Connie Cobb, a partner at Keoghs, said: “The opening of the new Leeds office will allow us to seamlessly integrate with our insurer clients based in and around the city.
“Being in close proximity on a more regular basis will help us to continue to support our clients with added-value activities such as case clinics, strengthening our existing relationships and evidencing our on-going commitment to the insurance industry.”
