What is Leeds Legal?
Leeds Legal is a unique partnership of the cream of the city’s legal profession. It is the first campaign of its kind in the UK. It promotes the high levels of service, expertise, no-nonsense advice and value for money provided by the city’s law firms.
Leeds Legal is backed by the Leeds Law Society and regional office of The Law Society of England and Wales. The campaign’s main sponsor is UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and it is spearheaded by Leeds-based corporate legal practices Pinsent Masons, DLA Piper and Lupton Fawcett. It is also supported by Marketing Leeds and the Leeds Financial Services Initiative. The campaign launched in April 2006 to attract more national and international corporate clients to the city.
