Our Lawyers in Leeds - Expert Legal Advice

Leeds is the UK’s fastest growing city, with the economy forecast to grow by 21% over the next decade. This is largely driven by the financial and professional services, which sees more than 30 national and international banks, including the Bank of England, with offices here. Over 32,000 VAT-registered businesses are also based in the city and with 6,000 small and medium-sized companies in Leeds, it is one of the UK’s leading centres for fast-growing firms.

Leeds is still one of the largest manufacturing hubs in the UK, with the industry worth over £7 billion to the local economy. Other keys sectors include retail, leisure and tourism, construction and the creative and digital industries. Companies such as ASDA, Jet2 and First Direct, a subsidiary of HSBC, are among the largest employers in the city.  

There is no shortage of things to do when out and about in Leeds. From stylish shops and decadent dining to funky festivals and historic houses, Leeds has it all.

The city is recognised as a thriving cultural hub, with world-class theatres, museums and galleries all proving a significant draw for visitors. The world-renowned Opera North and Northern Ballet are based here along with other leading attractions such as Leeds City Museum, Leeds Art Gallery, the Discovery Centre and the Royal Armouries Museum, which includes Henry VIII’s tournament armour as part of its collection.

Leeds boasts an enviable year-round programme of events, jam-packed with live music, artisan markets, carnivals and festivals including the iconic Leeds Festival, which attracts some of the best headline acts seen anywhere in the UK. The city’s Millennium Square is also a central location for concerts, screenings and events throughout the year.

With over 1,000 shops to suit all tastes and budgets including the luxury of the Victoria Quarter, high street retailers and small independents at the Corn Exchange, Leeds is also a shoppers’ paradise.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city’s stores, bars and eateries there is also plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors with the likes of Roundhay Park, one of the largest city parks in Europe, boasting more than 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens to explore and enjoy. 

Like any city or town in the UK, Leeds presents its own challenges and opportunities for businesses and individuals.
