A TOP law firm today announced a major expansion.

Denison Till has taken yet another floor in Stamford House, Piccadilly, York, increasing its office space by half.

Senior partner Tony Ridge said that the expansion demonstrated the company's commitment to the region and came soon after York emerged as the most prosperous business town in Yorkshire in a recent Dun & Bradstreet survey.

Denison Till grew by 33 per cent over the past year which has seen it earn Investors in People accreditation.

The practice also became the first in York to be awarded the Lexcel Practice Management Certificate from the Law Society.

It was also the only York-based solicitors firm to achieve eight listings for specialist services in the prestigious Legal 500 directory.

Mr Ridge said: "This expansion provides an opportunity to cope with the increasing demand for legal services.

"We have a large commitment to the region and we intend to consolidate our position as the leading firm of commercial solicitors."
