Law firm opens Birmingham office

Law firm Ward Hadaway has opened a new office in Birmingham - its first location outside the North of England.

The office, which adds to the organisation’s bases in Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle, is situated in the newly-refurbished Chamberlain Square at the end of Colmore Row. It is the firm's first new office opening in well over a decade.

This move is one of the components of its ambitious growth plans announced last year in which the firm outlined its objective to double its turnover within the next decade.

Ward Hadaway has revealed it is also in talks to merge with Teesside-based law firm, The Endeavour Partnership.

Ward Hadaway’s managing partner Steven Petrie said: “When I announced our ambitious growth plans, we knew that expanding geographically was going to be a key part of our strategy.

“Birmingham is a thriving legal hub, and home to an active business community. Its strong industrial heritage, reputation for technological innovation and robust service sector align with the challenges and opportunities we are accustomed to.  

“As a firm, we are proud of our strong presence in each of the regions where we operate. This expansion is no different. We are recruiting talented and experienced professionals for the Birmingham office who are eager to better support the ambitions of businesses across the region.

The new office has ambitious plans to expand its team and capabilities over the coming weeks and months, with a focus on strengthening Ward Hadaway’s presence across the region.
