A LAW firm in Huddersfield has reported a healthy new contract.

Chadwick Lawrence, which has offices at Railway Street in Huddersfield, will provide sports centre operator Kirklees Active Leisure with employment support services through the company’s Employer Support Pack.

KAL is a charitable trust responsible for managing, operating and developing 10 sports centres and swimming pools in Kirklees.

The trust also manages the Stadium Health and Fitness Club at the Galpharm Stadium and Spenborough athletics track.

The organisation aims to get “more people, more active, more often, in Kirklees” and provides a wide range of opportunities for affordable sport, leisure and recreational activities for local people.

Chadwick Lawrence was chosen because it is a specialist in employment law, for its wider commercial services and because it has several offices across Kirklees.

Tracey Spencer Tootill, head of human resources and marketing at KAL, said: “Chadwick Lawrence has extensive experience in employment law, meaning they are always up to date with the latest legislation.

“Kirklees Active Leisure already has a strong in-house HR team, which now has the benefit of specialist legal support via the Employment Support Pack making HR issues much easier to manage.”

Neil Wilson, partner and employment specialist at Chadwick Lawrence, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Kirklees Active Leisure.

“We enjoy building relationships with clients and supporting them in any way we can, so we see this as a long term partnership and look forward to developing it in the future.”
