Law firm opens specialist support base for British Cycling in Manchester

National law firm Leigh Day is to open an office in Manchester to provide legal support to members of the British Cycling and the British Triathlon Federation.

The new office, which the firm has located within easy reach - by bike - of the headquarters of British Cycling at Sportcity, is due to open in April.

Leigh Day will exclusively offer legal advice to members of British Cycling and the British Triathlon Federation injured as a result of road traffic incidents.

The litigation firm has hired former Pannone partner Andrew Bradley, who specialises in personal injury work and road traffic accidents, to initially lead a team of ten staff.

The firm’s head of cycling Penny Knight will support the specialist office from London.

Leigh Day’s head of personal injury, Sally Moore, said: “This office puts us right in the heart of cycling in the country. It gives us the opportunity to bring our expertise on all personal injury matters to the city.” Leigh Day is understood to have been advising members of British Cycling and British Triathlon for the past 12 years.
