Excello Law’s founder and managing director, George
Bisnought, said: “Leeds is a centre of commercial and legal excellence, where we already have a number of existing clients and solicitors.

“It is the right time for us to cement our position in this vibrant market.

“We’re committed to growing further in the region.”

The latest addition to the new Leeds team is property litigation specialist, Philip O’Loughlin, who has been working in the city for more than 20 years.

He has been national head

Since opening in July 2009, Excello Law has attracted a number of partner-level lawyers from firms such as Allen & Overy, Baker & McKenzie, Freshfields, Linklaters, Mayer Brown and Norton Rose Fulbright.

Excello Law also revealed that it is in “active discussions” with lawyers in the US and UAE as part of its long term plans for global expansion.
