A MAJOR restructuring of York law firm Rollits has been unveiled.

The firm, which has offices at Rowntree Wharf in Navigation Road, York, as well as in Hull, is being converted into a limited liability partnership (LLP).

Managing partner Richard Field said: “May 2010 heralds a new chapter in Rollits history when we will change from a traditional law partnership to a limited liability partnership.

“We believe this move will provide us with the right corporate structure for its future development, and make us more nimble in embracing new commercial opportunities that arise for the firm as well as adapting to the changes in the legal landscape arising out of the Clementi Review and the Legal Services Act 2007.

“Our intention is that the change will be seamless and that our clients will notice little change. We will continue to deliver the high quality legal advice and service that our clients have come to expect and appreciate.”
