Law firm Lewis Silkin continues expansion with new Leeds office

The law firm, Lewis Silkin, has announced it is opening a new office in Leeds as part of its growth plans.

It marks the latest step in Lewis Silkin’s expansion across the North of England, following its launch in Manchester last year. Employment partner James Keogh will lead what will initially be a three-strong team based in Leeds. A spokesman said: “James will be joined in early summer by managing associate Gemma Woodhead, previously an in-house employment counsel at Warner Brothers. James and Gemma will be supported by associate Breesha Loughran, who brings expertise in workplace investigations and employment tribunal litigation.”
