Ison Harrison: Law firm extends its reach into South Yorkshire with new Penistone office
Employee-owned law firm Ison Harrison has extended its reach into South Yorkshire with the launch of a new branch in Penistone.
The opening marks the 25th office for the regional firm and its second new location of the year, following the recent establishment of a city centre hub in Bradford.
Speaking on the launch of the new branch, Jonathan Wearing, managing director of Ison Harrison, said: "Our strategic expansion across Yorkshire has been driven entirely by client demand.
"Strengthening our presence in South Yorkshire via Penistone is a natural next step for us following our sustained growth in West and North Yorkshire over recent years.”
The move into Penistone marks the firm’s first location in South Yorkshire, with Ison Harrison previously holding a presence across both West and North Yorkshire.
The new office is located at 1 Crown House on Market Street, in Penistone town centre.
Formerly known as the Rose and Crown pub, the site operated as a bustling coaching inn from around 1749, serving as a historic meeting point for travelers and traders in a town that dates back to the Domesday Book of 1066.
The expansion follows a period of significant growth for Ison Harrison. Since transitioning to a 100 per cent employee-owned business model in 2022, the firm has nearly doubled its turnover, with revenues surpassing £35m for 2025.
Lyndsay Clark, the newly appointed branch manager at the Penistone office, said: "My team and I joined Ison Harrison earlier in the year with a view to opening and running a new Penistone office and we were delighted when we were able to secure such a prominent office on Market Street.
"Having worked as a conveyancer in the town for many years I am confident that we will be able to provide immediate, high-quality legal support to a community we know exceptionally well.”
Ison Harrison now employs more than 450 staff across its sites in Yorkshire.
