Torque Law was founded four years ago by Tiggy Clifford and Emma Whiting.

It now has five specialist employment solicitors with more than 75 years’ combined employment law experience.

The firm specialises in supporting business owners and HR departments of medium and large firms. Its client list includes Ellis Patents and York Theatre.

Tom Watkins, a former Partner at a Leeds-based Law Firm, has joined the team and brings with him 20 years of employment law experience.

Mr Watkins, Consultant Solicitor said: “When I was considering my next step it was important that the firm I chose held the same values as me and my clients. I was aware of Torque Law’s reputation in the market, but it was their commitment to providing the best possible client experience which was the clincher for me."

Tiggy Clifford, Partner, Torque Law said: “Building a team has always been part of the plan and we are mindful that our brand very much depends on our values being shared by those who work for the business.

"We’re conscious that to grow the team, it has to be with the right people, especially following the coronavirus pandemic, and Tom has already proven to be a great fit. We look forward to seeing where the next few months take us and to continuing to provide excellent, straight forward advice for our clients.”

Emma Whiting, Partner, Torque Law, commented: “Over the years I have seen a lot of talented people leave the legal profession for numerous reasons and then find it impossible to return. We wanted to break this trend by welcoming those who may not have a conventional CV but still possess the skills to do the job."
