DLA Piper set for new Leeds managing partner
A new Leeds office managing partner has been appointed at DLA Piper.
Allison Page will replace Sarah Day at the helm of the regional office.
Page has recently been named as one of the first Top 50 Northern Power Women. She has been with DLA Piper since 2005, when she moved from Pinsent Masons.
Page (pictured below, right) has been part of the Business North initiative and is a non-executive director at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, chairperson of the 2% club, a business representative on the Sustainable Economy and Culture Board (SECB) of Leeds City Council and recently established a Millennials Forum in conjunction with KPMG and Leeds City Council.
Day has headed DLA Piper for six years and will now take on a national role as UK head of finance for the firm. She will still be based in Leeds as she manages the finance practice across all of its UK offices.
Sandra Wallace, country managing partner, UK, at DLA Piper, said: “Sarah has done a magnificent job leading and developing the Leeds office, for which we are very grateful. We wish her all the best in her new position. Allison was a natural successor and we are confident that under Allison’s leadership and vision the Leeds office will go from strength to strength.”
