Tyr’s Property Litigation team expands with appointment of Chartered Legal Executive Eleanor Tordoff
Commercial law firm Tyr is pleased to announce the appointment of Eleanor Tordoff to its Property Litigation team. Eleanor joins as a Chartered Legal Executive, marking a significant milestone as the first team member at Tyr to have qualified via the CILEX apprenticeship route.
Eleanor’s legal journey began with a five-year apprenticeship at a prominent national firm, where she trained as a legal apprentice. She qualified in October 2022, having gained experience in residential conveyancing and property litigation. Her interest in property litigation was sparked by the department’s blend of contentious and advisory work, offering a comprehensive view of property law.
Since September 2018, Eleanor has focused on property litigation, working with clients in the retail sector. Her move to Tyr was driven by the firm’s reputation for handling complex, technical work and its collaborative culture. Eleanor was particularly drawn to Tyr’s engagement with junior team members and its commitment to professional development.
Eleanor is an active member of the Leeds Young Professionals network and the Junior Lawyers Division, regularly attending events and seminars to stay at the forefront of legal developments. She is passionate about the apprenticeship route into law, viewing it as a viable and valuable pathway for aspiring legal professionals.
Eleanor comments on her new role:
“The opportunity to join such a forward-thinking and progressive firm came at the perfect time for me as I near the end of the third year of my qualified career! Laura manages an excellent Property Litigation team at Tyr, and I aim to help contribute to the team’s continued success and expansion moving forward. I’m delighted to be working with such knowledgeable colleagues to contribute to the excellent reputation Tyr has whilst continuing to develop and progress personally in the Property Litigation world.”
Laura, Head of Property Litigation at Tyr, adds:
“I am delighted that Eleanor has chosen to join the Tyr team! Eleanor is a fantastic lawyer and will be a real asset to the team. I’m looking forward to working with Eleanor and supporting her development and career at Tyr.”
Eleanor’s appointment underscores Tyr’s commitment to diversifying talent pathways and fostering a supportive environment for legal professionals at all stages of their careers.
