Success prompts premises move for law firm

Law firm Ison Harrison is gearing up for further expansion following the completion of a move for its York office just over a year after first opening in the city.

The business opened its York office at 37a Micklegate in October 2018 and following a successful first year of operation has relocated to larger premises at nearby 23 Micklegate.

Its new location features ground floor access and more office and private meeting room space.

The York branch was one of the newest offices to open in Ison Harrison’s existing network of 14 branches across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

Ison Harrison in York is headed by partner Chris Brierley, a property solicitor with over 10 years’ experience in all aspects of residential conveyancing. With expertise spanning several areas of law, he specialises in residential property offering clients comprehensive technical knowledge and experience.

Brierley is supported by a team of legal experts including wills and probate partner, Liz Stephen and on the conveyancing side, Ashley Mallett and Steve Gannon, along with a support team.

The firm plans to create new jobs in 2020 as it continues to grow with a family law solicitor joining the team in January.

The relocated office and team will be focused on meeting the needs of private and wider business community clients, helping them to access a wide range of legal expertise including all types of conveyancing, family law and wills and probate.

They will also provide the York Community with access to a wide range of specialist services provided by Ison Harrison experts located at their Leeds head office, including a full commercial law service.

Brierley said: “Through relocation we are increasing our presence in York and building for the future, with the intention of expanding the team further. We are providing a service designed to meet the needs of the surrounding community.”

Jonathan Wearing, managing partner at Ison Harrison, said: “This has been a great first year for the York office so much so that it has been necessary to move to bigger and better premises.

“Continued growth underpins our firm-wide objective of retaining a visible presence on the high street as this means we keep in touch with our clients and the communities we operate in.

“Having established a solid presence in York over the past 12 months, we’re very much looking forward to building on this and interacting more with the local community whilst continuing to provide the quality, professional service for which we are renowned across the region.”
