Legal firm announces national expansion
A Wakefield-based legal firm has announced national expansion plans as it doubles the size of its headquarters and grows its team.
Newport Land and Law saw its caseload up 400% in 2020 as the property market boomed and is now moving to a larger head office at the historic Nostell Priory.
Outside of Yorkshire the business has offices under consideration in Oxford and South Wales and plans additional offices across the country.
Anna Newport, founder and director of Newport Land and Law, said: “Despite all the challenges, 2020 provided a strong launchpad for growth.
“Over the years we have established a national reputation for our expertise in everything from trusts and wills to estates and property law. We’ve built a client base with national reach and now is the time to accelerate our ambitions with new offices.”
As part of the expansion the business is growing its consultancy offer, allowing it to support experienced self-employed lawyers with the backing of an experienced team, having added four new consultant solicitors -Andy Challener, Leah Gore, Mike Scott and Emma Morris.
Newport added: “The development of our consultancy offer will give talented lawyers the flexibility they want with the support of an established operation that shares their values and a focus on client service.
