Ison Harrison, a Yorkshire law firm, has expanded its reach with a new office in Selby, marking its 20th establishment.
- The Selby branch is indicative of Ison Harrison’s ongoing expansion strategy post its transition to an employee-owned model.
- Key personnel like Daniel Kenworthy and a skilled team are set to lead the new office.
- The firm’s expansion reflects its commitment to providing diverse legal services across Yorkshire.
- This move is expected to reinforce the firm’s presence and reputation within the local communities.
Ison Harrison has further cemented its presence in Yorkshire with the recent inauguration of its Selby office, enhancing its network to include 20 branches. This development highlights the firm’s ambition and sustained growth strategy, particularly following its shift to a 100% employee-owned model in early 2022.
Jonathan Wearing, the managing partner at Ison Harrison, conveyed the company’s enthusiasm regarding this strategic expansion. He noted the opening of this 20th office, the fourth since the company embraced employee ownership, as a testament to their prolific growth over the past two years. The firm has successfully launched two new offices this year and has acquired the established Leeds firm, Cohen Cramer.
Daniel Kenworthy, the assistant head of residential conveyancing with a successful track record at the Pontefract office, will manage the new Selby branch. Kenworthy’s appointment underscores the firm’s strategy to provide robust legal services and repeat its regional achievements. Expressing his enthusiasm, Kenworthy declared that the team’s collective expertise and local connections will be instrumental in establishing a stronghold in Selby.
Joining Kenworthy at the Selby office are Lucy Hough, an associate specialising in wills and probate, Emma Clowes from the family law division, and Gemma Atkinson, a conveyancing legal executive. Each brings a wealth of experience to the table, enhancing the firm’s capability to deliver comprehensive legal services.
Lucy Hough, who has been with Ison Harrison since 2021 and elevated to associate status last year, provides invaluable expertise in wills and probate. Emma Clowes, having recently qualified in 2023, strengthens the family law division, while Gemma Atkinson’s local insights and long-standing experience in the legal sector, poised to become a chartered legal executive, add significant value to the Selby office.
Ison Harrison’s latest expansion with its Selby office not only strengthens its regional presence but also exemplifies its commitment to delivering varied legal expertise across Yorkshire.
