LAW firm Watson Burton has expanded into Yorkshire with the opening of an office in Leeds.

The commercial law firm, based in Newcastle, is aiming to increase turnover with the expansion and target the market south of Newcastle.

The premises are at One City Square, in the centre of Leeds.

Andrew Hoyle, senior partner, said: "We could not have found a better location. Importantly the offices will provide us with room for expansion as we develop our business in the region."
