We’re delighted to have boosted our senior team in Sheffield with the appointment of Philip Jordan as Corporate Partner.

Philip has moved to Taylor Emmet from his previous corporate law role at The Progeny Group in Leeds. With 40 years’ experience in the business law sector, Philip has worked across all aspects of corporate and commercial law.

Philip’s appointment is part of a long-term growth plan for Taylor Emmet, as the firm looks to double the size of its Business Legal Services team. Philip has already been assigned a trainee to work with and will be supporting the growth of Taylor Emmet as more appointments are planned in the coming months.

Philip said: “I’m delighted to be joining Taylor Emmet and can’t wait to get back into mainstream law once again. The firm has an excellent client base in the South Yorkshire region and further afield, so I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running.

“The enthusiasm and support from the team has already been incredible. I have worked at much larger firms in the past but at Taylor Emmet, there is a feeling that it’s a big family and everyone is so friendly. I feel like part of the team already.”

Taylor Emmet has served people and businesses for more than 150 years and is the largest independent firm in the Sheffield City Region. It provides legal services for both businesses and individuals and boasts more than 140 legal professionals.

Sharna Poxon, HR Director at Taylor Emmet, said: “Philip’s appointment comes at an extremely exciting time of growth for the firm, and we couldn’t be more pleased to welcome his extensive expertise and enthusiasm for the field.

“As soon as the decision had been made to enhance our existing team, we approached Philip because we knew we wanted him on board to support our future growth plans for the Business Legal Services division and enhance our service provisions for our clients. We’re thrilled that he has come on board and are very much looking forward to what he can bring to Taylor Emmet.”
