Ward Hadaway LLP.

We operate from three main offices ? in Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester. We employ more than 450 staff, with over 90 partners, offering a full range of legal services to clients across the private and public sectors as well as bespoke advice to individuals. We are rated as one of the leading law firms in the country by independent legal guides Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners and have acknowledged national experts across a wide range of specialist areas. Whilst our outlook is never narrow, we are very proud of our Northern roots which we have nurtured and grown over the last 30 years. Ward Hadaway was formed in 1988 in Newcastle via a merger of a number of smaller practices on Tyneside. The firm continued to expand in the North East over the next 20 years before opening our Leeds office in 2008. Our Manchester office followed in 2012, giving us a true pan-Northern network which we will continue to develop and invest in for the benefit of our clients. We believe that the combination of leading national legal specialists with a down to earth approach but without the London overheads is hard to beat. No one can be sure in business what the next 30 years will bring but we can promise you one thing ? we will continue to adapt to ensure our service constantly impresses, to give our clients what they want and deserve.
