Yorkshire law firm’s corporate team celebrates “record” year

A Yorkshire law firm’s corporate and commercial team is celebrating a “record” year which saw revenue growth of 30 per cent in the last 12 months.

Gordons’ corporate and commercial team advised on a number of high profile, high value corporate transactions and experienced unprecedented demand for support from its commercial contracts experts.

The last 12 months also mark the fifth successive year of revenue growth for Gordons’ corporate and commercial team.

Gordons employs 170 people and has offices in Leeds and Bradford. In October last year, the firm won the corporate and commercial category at the Yorkshire Legal Awards.

James Fawcett, corporate partner at Gordons, commented: “We have had an exceptional 12 months. Achieving record revenue and successive growth for five years is testament to both the excellence of our people and the enduring strength of our client relationships.

“We also capitalised upon the expertise we have in advising fast growth tech, digital and creative companies to launch our start-ups and emerging companies service.

“None of us take this success for granted but having recently appointed Jonathan Jackson as a new head of restructuring and Ben Roden as a new head of banking, we remain committed to further establishing Gordons as the law firm of choice for quality, growing, entrepreneurial businesses wanting the best service.”

The firm’s corporate and commercial clients include motor retailer JCT600; private equity investor Enact; and retailers Wren Kitchens, Moss Bros, Cloud Nine and Pavers.
