The Yorkshire Social Housing team, which advises a wide range of housing associations, housebuilders and local authorities on development projects, has three partners who are ranked Band 1 individually. They are part of our Leeds office which opened a little over two years ago and has successfully established itself within the Yorkshire market across a range of public and private sector areas.
