LAW firm Holden Smith has marked the first anniversary of its Horsforth office and family law department.

The firm opened its Horsforth office in January 2023, headed by experienced family solicitor and head of family law, Leanne Pollard.

Ms Pollard said: “We have felt very welcomed into the local community. We have been invited into - and have joined - several community events, and have formed really good relationships with local businesses, particularly the estate agents and cafes.

“Our family law team has grown significantly in the past 12 months based from Horsforth, and we have supported more than over one thousand clients with matters including divorce and separation agreements, children matters, and contested finances.

“The Horsforth office has helped bolster and expand our services across all areas of family law, and it has been a pleasure to lead the team to help deliver our ambitious growth plans.”

Holden Smith co-founder and director, David Bancroft, said: “We launched Holden Smith with residential and commercial conveyancing services, but demand meant we grew quickly and organically, launching wills and probate and corporate and commercial departments, followed most recently by our family department last year.

“Our Horsforth office and family law team has been very well-received, and we are looking forward to further growth in 2024.”

Holden Smith employs over 100 people across four offices in Huddersfield, Elland, Leeds, and Horsforth.
