Descriptiontext

Harrington Law (Harrington Law Limited) is a UK-based specialist legal practice focused exclusively on employment law, HR support, and data protection (UK GDPR) advice. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, with additional offices in York and Leeds, the firm serves businesses, charities, public sector organisations, and individual clients — including senior executives — across Yorkshire and the wider UK via telephone and online appointments. Its services span employment tribunal representation (priced £7,500–£35,000+VAT across three complexity tiers), settlement agreement advice, discrimination, TUPE, redundancy, restrictive covenants, workplace mediation, and dedicated training programmes; data protection work covers UK GDPR compliance, audits, DSARs, data breach response, and ICO investigations. All reserved legal activities are delivered under Solicitors Regulation Authority authorisation (SRA number 666091).

The firm's go-to-market combines specialist expertise positioning, three physical offices for regional coverage, free 30-minute initial telephone consultations, and a content-led inbound strategy via a legal knowledge base, SEO-optimised service pages, and a Mailchimp newsletter. Revenue is generated through multiple fee structures — fixed fees, £300+VAT hourly rates, annual retainers, and no-win-no-fee arrangements — with referrals, testimonials, and organic search as the principal acquisition channels. The practice is owned and operated by its two principals, Brian Harrington and Nathan Combes, both with over 20 years of specialist experience and ILM accreditation as trainers and workplace mediators; Brian additionally serves as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Derby and co-author of its UK GDPR course for Data Protection Officers.

The firm operates without proprietary technology, software products, APIs, or disclosed AI tooling, and is not venture-backed, PE-owned, or subject to disclosed M&A activity. Operating geographies are concentrated in England and Wales with virtual nationwide reach, and the customer base spans at least seven sectors (manufacturing, professional and financial services, retail, leisure and tourism, healthcare, education, and public sector), with only two named clients — Chaucer Foods Limited and an unnamed national retailer — disclosed in available materials.
