Law firm on the march with further expansion of its office network

A Yorkshire law firm has opened its newest regional office in Brighouse, taking its total network of offices to 22.

Ison Harrison’s first office in the town is on Clifton Road. Formerly home to the GMB Trade Union for over a decade, the new Brighouse office will be managed by Laura Walsh, who will lead a team offering a full range of legal services to individuals and businesses in the area.

Walsh, a residential conveyancing expert with the firm, joined in 2019 and was previously an associate solicitor working in residential conveyancing at Ison Harrison’s Huddersfield branch.

Joining her at the new Brighouse branch is conveyancing assistant Charlotte Rackstraw who also relocates after spending three and a half years at the firm’s Huddersfield branch.

Also part of the team is Holly Edwards, who trained with the firm and is a private client solicitor specialising in wills and probate.

Walsh said: “We’ve brought together a skilled and enthusiastic team here in Brighouse, and we’re excited to build a strong presence in the town.

“Opening this office marks an important milestone in Ison Harrison’s ongoing growth and allows us to connect closely with the local community, deliver a full range of legal services, and replicate the success we’ve seen across the wider Yorkshire region.”

Jonathan Wearing, managing director of Ison Harrison, said: “We are thrilled to be opening another office and especially proud to bring Ison Harrison’s services to Brighouse, the hometown of a few of our employees.

“The town has a vibrant community and strong local identity, which aligns perfectly with our ethos of being a truly local, accessible law firm.

“Our ongoing expansion is driven by our belief that people should have high-quality legal support on their doorstep whilst benefiting from the efficiencies that can come from being part of a much bigger outfit.”
