Law firm gets set to quit its Preston offices for new offices

The firm is to leave its Chapel Street office, one of its three bases in the North West, to Bamber Bridge.

It said the move followed a period of sustained growth and investment, which saw the size of its Lancashire based team more than double in the past five years.

The business, which now employs more than 400 lawyers and support staff, said it performed well through the pandemic and continues to build on its recently confirmed position as the third best law firm to work for in the UK, as well as one of the UK’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.

The new Grade A office space comprises more than 6,500 sq. ft across two floors in a self-contained exclusive office at Sceptre Court, Bamber Bridge.

It features collaborative working spaces designed to support the firm’s new hybrid working model. It added that the office’s transport links will help to fuel growth by making the firm more accessible to a growing list of clients across Lancashire, including a broad range of businesses from the county’s burgeoning SME community, in addition to high-profile public and private sector organisations including Lancaster City Council (Eden Project North).

Robert White, chief executive, said: “The upcoming move to Sceptre Court will be transformational for our team, as well as providing a flexible, collaborative and accessible space for the benefit of our clients and the wider business community in Lancashire, a market that is an integral part of our plans for the future.
