Rollits LLP is a Yorkshire commercial law firm, with offices in Hull and York, England. The firm was founded in 1841 by John Rollit.
In May 2010 the firm changed from a traditional law partnership to a Limited Liability Partnership with the name Rollits LLP.
In Hull in 1841, John Rollit, the son of a local cabinet-maker, was admitted as a solicitor and taken into partnership by local solicitor William Dryden at 2 Bowlalley Lane, a firm that became Dryden Sons and Rollit.
Having married Eliza Kaye, the daughter of architect Joseph Kaye, the Builder of Huddersfield, [2] Rollit set up his law firm at 62 Whitefriargate in 1850. [3]
In the twentieth century the firm continued under the direction of John’s two sons Albert and Arthur. Thomas Farrell joined in 1875, after a spell as a journalist for the Hull Morning News, but it was his son, Hugh, who put their family's name on the brass plate. Dick Bladon became a Partner on New Year’s Day 1934 when the firm became Rollit Farrell & Bladon. It retained that name until 2001, when it changed to Rollits.
In the 1970s the firm merged with Mainprize & Rignall, [4] and in the 1980s acquired Neville Hobson & Co.
In 1990, Rollits opened an office in York city centre, moving out to Forsyth House, Monks Cross in April 2017.
As of October 2022 [update], Rollits has two offices in the UK, Hull and York.
