Chadwick Lawrence is a broad based modern law firm proud of their Yorkshire heritage. They are trusted across the region to have the knowledge and experience to help in any legal situation. They are considered by many as Yorkshire’s Legal People.
"We ran the Dale Carnegie Management Programme last year to drive ongoing commitment to culture change and living and breathing our core values as part of our Chadwick Lawrence Way. We have all had to change and the Dale Carnegie Programme helped massively with that. It is helping to transform our business."
Neil Wilson, Managing Partner
Their vision is “to be recognised as the best legal practice in West Yorkshire, both from a perspective of client desire to engage our services and staff wanting to come and work for the firm. We will employ lawyers with personality who are approachable, understand our business needs and those of our clients. People who are capable of conversing in plain English but who are skilled in their profession and confident in their approach. A people culture made up of those who will do what they say they will do, within the timescale that they agree. In short, we want to be the best at what we do.”
