Law firm signs lease on 6,000 sq ft city office

Yorkshire-based LCF Law is expanding its Leeds city centre office into 6,000 sq ft of newly refurbished space at 33 Park Place.

The premises will accommodate 60 of LCF Law’s team, with lawyers and support staff moving from the company’s existing Leeds office on Sovereign Street. The firm, which provides a full range of corporate and personal legal services, will relocate to Park Place early this year.

LCF Law also has offices in Bradford, Harrogate and Ilkley and has agreed a 10-year lease with Property Alliance Group.

The Manchester-based property development and investment company has recently invested £1m in the building, creating an on-site gym with showers and secure bike storage, as well as completely remodelling and refurbishing the building’s reception area, communal spaces and outdoor area.

Simon Stell, managing partner at LCF Law, said: “We’ve enjoyed a significant uplift in work throughout our Leeds office in recent years, across our corporate and personal divisions, and our team has grown in line with this.

“Locating to 33 Park Place will provide us with a high-quality and impressive office space, that benefits from an exceptional range of amenities. It’s also ideally located at the heart of Leeds city centre’s legal and financial district, which will be a fantastic base for us as we embark on our next phase of growth.”

Rob Peill, head of offices at Alliance, said: “Our major investment in this scheme meets the growing demand from occupiers for more amenity space, especially facilities which can help improve people’s health and wellbeing.

“The upgrade has also transformed a significant proportion of the space creating a much more contemporary look and attractive working environment for occupiers. These improvements have been instrumental in securing several lettings in recent months.”

LCF Law was represented by Clem McDowell at JLL.
