LCF Law appoints finance head

Yorkshire-based law firm LCF Law has appointed James Nuttall as its new head of finance, strengthening its senior management team.

James joins from Lupton Fawcett, where he spent 28 years, including nine as finance director and board member. 

An ACCA-qualified accountant, he brings expertise in financial planning, compliance, cash management, and regulatory oversight, and will also serve as the firm’s COFA.

Based at LCF Law’s Bradford office, he will lead a seven-strong team and oversee financial operations across the firm’s offices in Leeds, Harrogate and Ilkley.

James said: “I was drawn to LCF Law by its culture, ambitious growth plans and highly collaborative working style. 

“The leadership team all have great drive and determination, and the firm will achieve its best ever year this year, which is very exciting.

“I already knew non-executive director, David Mattocks, and have previously worked with IT director, James Hood, amongst others, all of whom had such positive things to say about the firm. 

“Moving to LCF Law felt like a great fit, both professionally and personally, and it allows me to continue working in the legal industry, which is something I really enjoy.” 

James’ appointment reflects LCF Law’s continued investment in senior talent to support growth and enhance client outcomes across Yorkshire.

Ragan Montgomery, LCF Law’s managing partner, added: “James brings the right sort of experience to the firm at an important stage in our growth plans.

“He has an outstanding track record, and his depth of knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to expand. 

“His collaborative approach fits perfectly with our culture and strategic ambitions, and we are thrilled to have him on board.”
