Leeds law firm welcomes 11 new legal specialists

Law firm Ward Hadaway has appointed 11 legal specialists across its Leeds office.

The new hires join a wide range of departments, including real estate, debt recovery & insolvency, employment, private client and social housing. They include directors, associates, solicitors and paralegals.

The appointments include Hanaan Mohammed (associate, construction), directors Ian Abel (employment) and Scott Nodder (debt recovery & insolvency), and Emilia Nowicka (solicitor, real estate). The matrimonial team has also grown with managing associate Greg Cross.

This latest round of recruitment follows the opening of Ward Hadaway’s Birmingham office earlier this year and the recent merger with Teesside-based The Endeavour Partnership.

Emma Digby, executive partner in Ward Hadaway’s Leeds office, said: “Leeds is an increasingly important centre for business and legal services and we’re investing in the talent and expertise to reflect that.

“These appointments strengthen our ability to support clients in the region across a wide range of sectors and highlight our commitment to continuing to grow with the Yorkshire business community.”
