Are you moving to Leeds as a legal professional?

This week we launch the second in the UK suite of City Guides, Leeds. Our City Guides look at some of the top UK cities to help you prepare for the legal landscape, hot social spots and the cost of living. Whilst some people might not be quite ready to launch their careers abroad, moving across the country to work is becoming increasingly popular. Here at Douglas Scott we understand the decision to move cities can be daunting, and these guides should help you to understand better the area you are moving to and answer any questions you might have.

Leeds is considered the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban Area. It is the largest legal market outside of London in the UK, and focuses primarily on the areas of Real Estate and Corporate Commercial work. This means that there is a respectable presence of some large firms, but there are also some non-international firms that play a big role. The market is still expanding with more players trying to carve out a place for themselves. With one of the largest financial and insurance services industries in the UK, and huge growth in the corporate and legal sectors, there’s plenty of opportunities for your legal career to take off.
