Torque Law seeks out top talent as it grows in size and reputation

Torque Law, York’s award-winning employment law firm, continues to grow in size and reputation as it recruits more team members.  

Laura Harvey joins Torque Law, a Times Top 250 law firm, as a full-time as Practice Manager after 16 years at regional law firm Lupton Fawcett.

Emma Whiting, Partner, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Laura, who will be the first in a series of recruitments to expand our exceptional team. Laura will be strategically focused on streamlining our processes, procedures and working practices to ensure our reputation for quality of service is maintained during this period of rapid, referral driven, growth.

Partner and co-founder, Tiggy Clifford, added: “With Laura in place on the operational side, we are now well positioned to continue our search for top calibre solicitors, who can deliver superior quality whilst keeping clients’ needs at the forefront, and bring our ambitious plans to fruition.

As part of a social impact initiative to foster links with local educational establishments and support early career women in law, Torque Law have also appointed Alison Coates, law student at York St John’s University, as a Legal Practice Assistant. Alison is the second appointment under this initiative, with Tabitha Graddon (now a Paralegal at the firm) having joined the team from the University in early 2024.

Consistent year-on-year growth leaves Torque Law as one of the largest employment law teams in the region, with a 15% increase in turnover this year and a coveted position on the Times Best Law Firms List 2025, alongside top international law firms. Having expanded into new office space this time last year, the firm is already in the process of securing larger office space for their next phase.

Torque Law would be pleased to hear from any client-focused employment law solicitors in the York and Leeds area who might be ready for their next move and excited to work with their impressive client roster of household names.
