Rebekah Leech

Manchester-based distributed law firm, arch.law, is opening a new London Collaboration Hub, at 8 Bishopsgate, in the heart of the City’s financial district.

The new Hub increases the firm’s footprint in the city and complements its network of Collaboration Hubs across the UK, which include Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and London’s Mayfair Place.

Internationally, the company operates in Australia and Canada, bringing its global footprint to a total of 10 locations.

The 8 Bishopsgate investment is enhanced by two key senior appointments.

Matt Davidson joins as Head of Finance, bringing more than 14 years of experience, most recently at AFG Law.

Rebekah Leech steps into the position of Head of Legal, Risk, and Compliance, following her role as a commercial litigation solicitor with arch.law’s London-based team.

Founder and CEO, Andrew Leaitherland, said: “The new 8 Bishopsgate Collaboration Hub represents a significant milestone in our commitment to supporting both clients and members.

“Establishing a presence in the heart of the city’s financial district underscores our position as a leader in the rapidly evolving legal marketplace.

“In an era where client and member interaction is more important than ever, this Hub exemplifies our commitment to providing collaborative spaces that empower our members to deliver exceptional service.”

He added: “The premium quality of 8 Bishopsgate reflects our continued investment in the resources and support essential to our distributed law firm model.

“Investing in our senior operational capabilities has been another key priority for the last 12 months and I’m delighted to welcome Matt and congratulate Rebekah on her new role. They join our previous key appointment last October with Beth Livesey appointed as Chief Marketing Officer.”

Andrew Leaitherland founded arch.law in 2021.

In his former role of CEO at DWF Group, he built the firm from 450 people with two offices in Manchester and Liverpool to more than 4,300 people across 33 offices worldwide.
