A LAW firm has today announced the opening of a new office in North Yorkshire.

Andrew Jackson Solicitors’ expansion into Scarborough follows the success of its York office, opened in December 2013.

Father-and-son team Michael and Christopher Harrison, formerly of M J Harrison Solicitors, join Andrew Jackson to lead operations at the Scarborough office.

Michael Harrison said: “Having lived and worked in Scarborough for the majority of our respective careers, Christopher and I are delighted to be able to offer an enhanced service to our clients in this wonderful part of the world. We are so excited by the prospect of what lies ahead, not only for ourselves but also for our existing and future clients.”

Christopher Harrison said: “Joining a well-established, large regional firm with national and international focus will enable us, as part of Andrew Jackson, to bring a wider breadth of expertise, and a new level of focus and customer service to the local market we know so well. It’s exciting for us to be able to work as part of a team providing specialist knowledge with a full range of services across the board from corporate acquisitions, employment and commercial property through to agricultural law and international trade.”

Christopher and Michael join a growing team of solicitors who are based in the firm’s four offices across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Mark Pearson-Kendall, managing partner of Andrew Jackson, said: “Michael and Christopher’s client-focused approach to the delivery of legal services is a perfect fit for the firm, so we are delighted to announce that they will be joining us.

“Andrew Jackson’s commitment to the provision of trusted legal advice in a commercial and practical manner is consistently recognised in our client feedback.

“I am excited that with additional team members and a new Scarborough office, we will be able to provide tailored legal solutions to more businesses and individuals throughout North Yorkshire.

“It’s been another exciting and successful year for Andrew Jackson, so the opening of our Scarborough office seems the perfect way to end 2016 and build on this success next year.”
