17/10/2023

A West Yorkshire law firm is continuing to invest in legal talent with the appointment of an experienced litigator.

Richard Whitaker has joined the Pudsey-based law firm John Howe & Co, after building his career across 30 years with several renowned West Yorkshire firms, most recently spending nearly seven years with Din Solicitors in Halifax.

Richard has established himself as a legal professional with a focus on personal injury and property disputes. His deep knowledge and experience in these areas will be a valuable asset to John Howe & Co as it continues to provide top-notch legal services to a wide range of clients.

In addition to his legal prowess, Richard is also an accomplished poet, and a member of Bridport Writing Club, and has recently completed his debut novel, with publishers keen to send it to print. His creative spirit is not confined to the written word or the courtroom; he is also a devoted trustee at All Saints Church Hall and serves as a Senior Steward at Leeds United’s Elland Road Stadium.

Richard Whitaker expressed his enthusiasm about joining John Howe & Co, saying: "I am delighted to become a part of the John Howe & Co family. John has built a brilliant general legal practice and the firm's outstanding reputation and commitment to excellence align perfectly with my values. Whatever I do, I always want to do my best.

“I look forward to contributing my expertise and working alongside the dedicated team here to provide the best possible legal solutions to our clients."

John Howe, Managing Director at John Howe & Co, warmly welcomed Mr. Whitaker, saying, "We are thrilled to have Richard join the firm. His extensive experience and specialised knowledge in personal injury and property disputes will undoubtedly enhance our capabilities and continue our tradition of delivering exceptional legal services. I am looking forward to working closely with him to the benefit of our clients.”
