Why Leeds? Leeds is the UK’s fastest growing city with the second largest employment total outside London. The value of the city’s economy is estimated at £13.6bn and is projected to grow by a third in the next 10 years. The city has seen massive investment, with £3.2bn in large property schemes completed in the last decade and a further £7.2bn in progress or proposed. Leeds is widely recognised as the most important legal centre outside London, with 180 law firms based in the city.
The thriving regional economy can (and does) support a very strong and diverse financial and professional community, nearly all of whom are based within a small radius, which makes client relationships and business development close knit and personal.
