About Us

Established in 1844, Gordons LLP is a UK Top 100 law firm based in Leeds and Bradford, with 34 partners and 250 staff. We provide commercial and personal legal services to a wide range of businesses and individuals across the region and beyond, from the individual entrepreneur and small family business to the large PLC, and our private client service is equally as comprehensive.

Our approach is that of a straight-talking, hard-working, ambitious law firm that puts our clients’ success before its own. We work with our clients, providing fast, effective, results-driven legal advice that enables them to solve their problems quickly and manage their personal interests.

"Our approach is to make life simple, not complicated. Our clients are looking for straightforward, practical advice so that's exactly what we give them. We're a modern firm with traditional values, which means hard work and professionalism combined with a personal touch. We understand that our success is intrinsically linked to our clients."

Paul Ayre
Managing Partner

A full service firm, our areas of work include commercial property; planning & environmental; retail; construction; corporate; banking & finance; insolvency; commercial litigation; intellectual property; risk & compliance; employment; personal injury; non-contentious and contentious personal law (including family) and residential property.

Last year marked the sixth successive year of growth for the firm with a turnover of £21.7m, a 13.5% increase on the previous year.

We look for the key strengths of our organisation in our people: an aptitude for building relationships; the ability to communicate in a straightforward manner; a flair for developing practical solutions; and the ambition and willingness to make a positive impact.

In return we offer interesting work in a supportive, friendly and non-bureaucratic environment, career development and a competitive reward package.
