Turnover climbs by more than 90% at law firm’s city office

Yorkshire law firm Ridley & Hall is marking five years of its Leeds office and supporting over 650 clients from the city since 2018.

In that time, the firm’s turnover has grown by 92% to £4.6m in 2023.

Claire Linden, partner at the firm’s Leeds office, located at Park Place, said: “Over the last five years, the legal and business communities in Leeds have welcomed us and provided us with a fantastic base on which we’ve been able to grow our professional network and support hundreds of clients across the city and wider region at some of the most difficult times in their lives.

“We have exciting plans and have recruited several roles over the past few years, including a head of family law in Leeds, Emma Hopkins Jones, family solicitor, Kate Hames, care solicitor, Jennifer Keefe, and trainee solicitor, Ernestas Motiejunas.”

Emma Pearmaine, managing director, added: “We have some incredibly talented and ambitious colleagues, and the work our Leeds team delivers across family, matrimonial and care services is first-class.

“Our last five years in Leeds has coincided with a significant period of growth for the firm, and we look forward to what the next five holds.”

Ridley & Hall now employs over 120 people across four offices in Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract, and Barnsley.
