Mills & Reeve expands Leeds premises to expand in Yorkshire legal market

The Leeds office of law firm Mills & Reeve has announced a move to larger premises as part of its expansion in the Yorkshire legal market.

Mills & Reeve has taken 6,500 sq ft in 1 City Square after agreeing a ten year lease. The move, which is scheduled to take place on December 22, will see the firm relocate from its serviced offices in the same building and double its existing space.

Since its formation in 2008, turnover has reportedly grown year-on-year with fee income up 21% in the last 12 months.

The firm recently announced it is committed to making senior lateral hires in the areas of corporate, commercial, employment, construction and commercial disputes in a move that will increase the number of partners from four to between ten and 15 in the Leeds office..

Philip Way, who heads up the Leeds office, said: “The new office reflects Mills & Reeve’s growth over recent years and ambitions to expand further in the city.

“We looked at a number of different properties and felt that 1 City Square, which is an iconic building in an excellent location, fitted our requirements perfectly and we look forward to moving to our own premises in December.”

The Leeds office of Savills acted as agent.
