Switalskis Solicitors has made a significant move from St James House to the cutting-edge West Village development on Wellington Street, initiating a fresh chapter for the firm. The relocation is designed to stimulate growth, enhance working practices, and improve team wellbeing by centralising its Leeds-based employees into a single, cohesive environment.
The firm’s new 3,326 sq ft office, located in Bruntwood SciTech’s West Village, provides a state-of-the-art setting that focuses on flexibility and sustainability. This environment is crafted to not only improve interaction among team members but also boost overall productivity. Julie Guest, head of people at Switalskis, noted the positive impacts of this new workspace and emphasised the importance of creating the right office environment: ‘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 consolidation of staff from two separate floors into one location is set to improve operational efficiency and communication. The new office boasts modern amenities such as breakout areas, a coffee bar, yoga classes, and a bike store, all designed to encourage movement and interaction.
Switalskis’ move is also a strategic step in its broader efforts to expand and solidify its presence across Yorkshire and London. Notably, the firm was awarded Large Law Firm of the Year at the Yorkshire Legal Awards in 2023 and was recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Work. This relocation reinforces its ongoing developmental strategy while contributing positively to its reputation as a top employer in the region.
The relocation to West Village underscores Switalskis’ commitment to growth, modern work practices, and employee satisfaction.
