“As well as having excellent – and well-deserved – reputations in their fields of expertise, their commitment to providing outstanding service aligns perfectly with our approach to client care and will support our future success.”
Julian said, “I’m looking forward to leading and strengthening our commercial property team as we continue to offer high-quality legal advice to existing clients, and welcome new ones.”

Both the commercial property and employment teams have been acknowledged in the latest Chambers UK Legal Guide and Legal 500 UK rankings. Notably, the employment team has also been shortlisted for the 2024 Yorkshire Legal Awards.
