Legal firm expands across the Pennines
LEEDS-BASED family law firm Lake Legal is set to launch across the Pennines with a Manchester office.
The firm will be based in Bartle House next to the Football Association, and will be creating four jobs in the next 12 months as it recruits in the North West.
This firm has already employed three lawyers to its Leeds office in 2015.
Lyn Ayrton, managing partner of Lake Legal said: “After six years of growth in Yorkshire we decided it is time to expand across the Pennines.
“We have steadily grown a client base in and around Manchester, and it is the right time to open an office to support further growth. I believe there is a need for a small specialist practice in the city.”
Ms Ayrton launched Lake Legal in 2009, after having worked at Addleshaw Goddard and Gordons, pre-merger.
Lake Legal was named ‘Family Law Firm of the Year’ in the Yorkshire Legal Awards and has earned recognition in the top tier of firms in both Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500.
