Law firm Chadwick Lawrence – “Yorkshire’s Legal People” – is delighted to continue its sponsorship of the Examiner Business Awards.

The firm has sponsored the awards from the beginning – 2013 marks the eighth annual awards.

Chadwick Lawrence is a prominent member of the regional business community.

And the firm believes in celebrating the success of local organisations – to recognise their achievements, encourage further economic growth and attract more investment to the Yorkshire area.

Chadwick Lawrence has offices throughout the region, including a new central Leeds location and a major, long-standing base in Huddersfield.

The company takes the opportunity to actively support regional initiatives – staging regular free seminars and training for local business, backing the Huddersfield Town Centre Partnership and taking a keen interest in promoting efforts to foster economic growth.

The law firm is also heavily involved with other business groups working to highlight current issues affecting the business community.

Jeremy Garside, managing partner of Chadwick Lawrence, said: “Working in partnership with our many commercial clients, we quickly identify trends and issues affecting the region’s businesses – and as a result we work proactively with customers to address these.”

It is this approach that has led to Chadwick Lawrence having many long-term relationships with its commercial clients.

The team works predominantly with small to medium-sized businesses with up to a £40m turnover and is able to handle almost all aspects of business law.

The Chadwick Lawrence commercial services team is made up of three departments – corporate and commercial property, commercial litigation (including regulatory law) and employment law. The growth and expansion of the team resulted in the move into central Leeds in 2012.

The launch of a specialist legal team to assist businesses with commercial property advice and risk management has proved invaluable in helping the owners of commercial property and landlords – or indeed tenants.

With several offices throughout the region, Chadwick Lawrence covers the whole of West Yorkshire affirming its position as Yorkshire’s Legal People.
