Work is Playing by the Rules
Recorded on 13/03/2025
Neil Wilson is the Managing Partner at Chadwick Lawrence, a leading West Yorkshire based law firm recognised for its progressive approach and commitment to employee wellbeing.
Neil's journey into law began after completing his law degree (LLB) in 1996 and qualifying as a solicitor in 1998. Unlike many solicitors, Neil did not go straight down the legal route after school, opting instead to move to Germany to learn the language and study European Business Studies. He then moved to a government managerial position for 14 years, before changing careers to law aged 33 having studied for his law degree and postgraduate diploma part-time on evenings and weekends.
Since becoming Managing Partner in 2014, Neil has been overseeing 210 employees from eight offices across West Yorkshire, with an anticipated turnover of £16.2 million in 2024/25. Specialising in sports and employment law, he has established himself as a trusted advisor to many of the region's top organisations and sports clubs, including Leeds Rhinos and Huddersfield Town Football Club.
