On Thursday 7th September, Directors and staff at Switalskis Solicitors’ Leeds office celebrated their 10th anniversary with a staff party and fantastic fundraising raffle for Leeds’s very own Children’s Heart Surgery Fund..
Switalskis, which has 13 offices throughout Yorkshire and the largest high-street presence of any law firm in the county, first opened its doors to the Leeds public on 31st August 2007. Originally opening with just two people, Lisa Phillips (Director) and the late Stephen Winehouse, the firm now occupies two floors in St James House on Park Place.
Switalskis’ origins lie in Wakefield, where the firm was founded by the late Stephen Switalski in 1993 with just two areas of specialism, child care and criminal law. The firm has expanded considerably and they now have more than 100 expert lawyers who advise across a broad range of legal areas.
“We are delighted to be celebrating 10 years of presence in Leeds City Centre.” said Lisa Phillips “We have grown considerably in that period and much of that is down to the hard work of our dedicated staff who are the cornerstone of our business.”
With the help of donations from many local retailers including Bettys (Harrogate), The Queens Hotel (Leeds) and Bar Soba (Leeds), the firm managed to raise £1000 for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, their chosen charity for the year.
