Spencer West doubles down on UK presence with new Leeds office
Leeds, 3 February 2025 – Spencer West, the rapidly growing UK-headquartered international law firm, today announced the opening of its new office in Leeds city centre, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s trajectory.
Located at The Pinnacle in Leeds’ central business district, the new office will serve as a hub for the firm’s Yorkshire-based lawyers who collectively offer a comprehensive range of commercial legal services. The team’s expertise currently spans residential property, commercial litigation, debt recovery, family law, estate planning, private client services, employment law, and defamation, and this range will be increased in the coming months.
Senior Partner Simeon Spencer said the strategic location will enable Spencer West to better serve its growing client base in the region while providing an exceptional environment for its talented team of legal professionals.
“The opening of our Leeds office represents a natural progression in our growth strategy and demonstrates our commitment to Yorkshire’s vibrant business community. With Leeds and York entering a period of significant business growth, we are perfectly positioned to support clients with our high-calibre legal solutions across multiple practice areas,” Mr Spencer said.
“Our Yorkshire team brings together talented lawyers from across the region, serving clients locally, and internationally. This aligns perfectly with our vision of being the most connected international fee-sharing law firm in the world,” Spencer added.
The expansion comes during a period of remarkable growth for Spencer West. Operating across 17 jurisdictions with more than 360 partners specialising in 34 practice areas, the firm has established itself as a leading international legal practice.
Spencer West’s innovative fee-sharing model has proven particularly successful in attracting top legal talent and delivering exceptional client service. The model enables partners to build agile, high-performing practices while maintaining the support and resources of a major international law firm.
The Grade A office space at The Pinnacle has undergone extensive refreshment of its exterior, reception, and interior spaces, providing Spencer West’s team and clients with a modern, collaborative environment that reflects the firm’s values of Excellence, Collaboration, and Business Focus.
The Leeds office officially opened in January 2025, with the firm’s central management team working closely with local partners to implement growth and development strategies for the region.
