Head office move marks £7m turnover push for law firm

Yorkshire law firm Holden Smith has opened a new head office in Huddersfield as it targets a turnover of £7m.

The firm, co-founded in 2019 by James Smith, David Bancroft and Jamie Megson, has moved into a 3,200 square foot office at the newly-built Ashlar House in Denby Dale.

Smith said, “We’ve experienced rapid growth in the last 12 months and now is the right time for us to take up a new, bigger office that gives our current team the facilities they need, and the room we require as we continue to recruit for new staff.”

The firm, which employs over 100 people, is aiming to reach a turnover of £7m by the end of its 2023/24 financial year.

It recently opened a fifth office in Horsforth to establish a family law team, led by experience family solicitor, Leanne Pollard, and in March announced the appointment of Rob Kelly as head of its growing corporate and commercial team.

Mr Kelly said: “Holden Smith is a driven and dynamic firm that is going places and I’m delighted to have joined the team to be part of the journey.”
