Yorkshire law firm opens sixteenth branch in Harrogate

A Yorkshire law firm has opened its sixteenth and newest branch, making its debut in Harrogate.

The move into the spa town by Ison Harrison, its second in North Yorkshire, further strengthens its foothold within the region.

The new office, located at 6a Albert Street, was formerly occupied by Manning Stainton estate agents, will host a team of legal experts led by branch manager Georgina Pogge-von Strandmann, an expert in residential property.

In addition to property and family law, the new Harrogate office will handle all legal matters, personal and business, via its network of regional offices and the vast and broad experience of its in-house lawyers.

Ison Harrison was founded in 1978 by Stephen Harrison in Leeds, merging a decade later with Garforth-based Ison Driver & Furness, to form Ison Harrison. Forty-three years later it now employs more than 200 staff across Yorkshire, offering the broadest suite of legal services in the region.

The firm is also proud to boast that it is the most accredited law firm in Yorkshire, with 13 Law Society accreditations including Immigration & Asylum, Clinical Negligence, Children Law, Family Mediation and SRA Higher Courts Rights – civil and criminal.

Ison Harrison, managing partner Jonathan Wearing, said: “Despite the many challenges presented by the past 18 months, the firm has been able to maintain the momentum which has built up over many years of representing people across the region.

“We are very much looking forward to continuing to establish the Ison Harrison name in Harrogate and the surrounding areas.”
