A Different Kind of Law Firm
With more than 450 employees, multiple industry awards, and a reputation as the most accredited law firm in Yorkshire, we have established ourselves as one of the region’s leading legal practices.
But our success is measured by more than accolades. We are proud that our people choose to build long-term careers with us, reflected in our 90.3% employee retention rate.
For our clients, that means continuity, experience and trusted relationships with legal professionals who are committed to delivering exceptional service.
For our people, it means being part of a firm that invests in their future.
Employee Owned. Employee Driven.
In 2022, we became one of the first law firms in the UK to transition to 100% Employee Ownership.
Today, every employee who completes 12 months’ service automatically becomes a beneficiary of the Employee Ownership Trust, sharing in the long-term success of the business.
This structure ensures that our people are at the heart of every decision we make and creates a culture of collaboration, accountability and shared purpose.
Here are just some of the comments our employees have made about working for Ison Harrison Solicitors:
- “Everyone knows the hard work they put in helps everyone else.”
- “Working for Ison Harrison and being an EOT makes you feel more part of and involved with the firm, which in turn has a positive effect on the culture and encourages improved productivity.”
- “Resources are put into every individual member of staff to do well.”
- “It’s a great place to be; a real family atmosphere.”
This shared sense of ownership creates an environment where success is collective, achievements are celebrated, and everyone has a genuine stake in the future of the firm.
