Global law firm Squire Patton Boggs has moved into its new office at 19 Cornwall Street in Colmore Business District today, underlining its continued investment in the Midlands market.
The firm, which employs around 150 people in the city, has moved from Edmund Street into 22,231 sq. ft of Grade A office space in the landmark city-centre building.
Birmingham office managing partner Tom Durrant said: “Our new office provides a modern, high-quality environment that reflects both our global platform and our long-term commitment to Birmingham. It gives us a strong foundation for future growth in the region.
“We look forward to welcoming clients and contacts to the new space in the coming weeks.”
The move forms part of a broader period of growth for the firm in Birmingham, including the addition of five partners in the past six months: Partho Chaudhuri, Deborah Brown, Alison Davidson-Cox, Matt Harris and Claire O’Connor.
Tom added: “We are continuing to strengthen our capabilities in Birmingham through targeted senior hires across key practice areas. Combined with our move to 19 Cornwall Street, this reflects the scale of our ambition in the Midlands and our focus on delivering exceptional client service.”
The office also supports the firm’s sustainability objectives. The building holds strong environmental credentials, including BREEAM Excellent, a NABERS 5-Star rating, EPC A, and Net Zero Carbon in operation. Sustainable features include energy-efficient systems, low-carbon materials and enhanced insulation.
