Switalskis strengthens Leeds presence with move to West Village

Leading Yorkshire law firm Switalskis has relocated its Leeds-based teams to a new office at West Village on Wellington Street. It’s a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth and investment in the region.

After 15 years at nearby St James House, the move to the state-of-the-art, 3,326 sq ft workspace in Bruntwood SciTech’s innovative West Village development reflects Switalskis ambitions for the future. The firm joins a vibrant and forward-thinking community in the heart of the city, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to the Leeds business landscape.

The new office brings together Switalskis Leeds-based employees on a single floor for the first time, having previously been split across two floors. This modern, cohesive setup is designed to foster greater collaboration, streamline communication and support team wellbeing.

Julie Guest, Head of People at Switalskis, says:

“One of our core goals is to be a great place to work, and creating the right office environment is key to achieving that. The new Leeds office is the first step in a wider review of all our locations and we’re excited to see the positive impact it’s already having.”

Designed with innovation, flexibility and sustainability in mind, the new office includes breakout areas, a coffee bar, yoga classes and a secure bike store – features that promote wellbeing and encourage interaction among colleagues.

“A great workplace is more than just a decent desk and chair,” Julie continues. “The feedback from our Leeds team has been hugely positive, which we’re delighted with.”

John Durkan, Managing Director at Switalskis, adds:

“We’ve really benefitted from our move to West Village, which better reflects who we are today and underscores our long-term commitment to the city. The space supports more dynamic, effective collaboration and creates the right environment for our people to thrive – which ultimately benefits our clients.”
