Excello Law

Firm opens fourth office

Excello Law has opened an office in Leeds as it continues to challenge both the traditional and "virtual‟ models of legal practice. The opening of the Leeds City Centre office comes shortly after the opening of offices in London, Liverpool and its first international office in Sweden.

Each of the offices have been designed to provide the firm‟s growing national team of partner-level lawyers with a modern and vibrant working space and the flexibility to work in the way that they choose. Unlike virtual firms that simply offer their lawyers access to office facilities, Excello Law is laying solid roots with a dedicated office supporting its "experience heavy, bureaucracy light‟ approach to practice.

The Leeds office will house a team led by leading corporate and commercial solicitor Andrew Hoyle, who has previously held a number of senior positions at law firms Ward Hadaway and Watson Burton.

Excello Law‟s founder and managing director, George Bisnought, says: “The Excello Law model continues to evolve as we place our lawyers and clients at the centre of our service matrix. The opening of offices in key city centre locations such as Leeds offers a unique opportunity for us to cement our position in this vibrant market.”
