Helen Bunker, chair of Blake Morgan and head of the London office, expressed enthusiasm about the firm’s recent move to a larger location, emphasizing that this transition signifies a commitment to the future of the organization. The law firm has vacated its previous office at New Street Square after ten years, opting for a new space measuring 10,745 square feet at 100 Fetter Lane, which opened last year and was developed by BauMont Real Estate Capital and YardNine.
The new premises are notable for their all-electric design, which utilizes 30 percent less energy than current standards require and aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions in its operations. This strategic relocation follows a prosperous year for Blake Morgan, with the London division reporting a remarkable revenue increase of 36 percent.
The new office will not only serve as a hub for the London team but will also accommodate colleagues from various regions across the UK. Over the past few years, the firm has expanded its workforce in London, making significant hires such as insolvency partner Alejandro Worthington, corporate immigration expert Dipesh Shah along with his six-member team, corporate partner Joan Yu, and real estate specialist Scott Hilton.
“The opening of our new London office is an important milestone for the firm, which strengthens our offering in the capital, while also supporting the continued evolution of the wider business,” said Bunker.
She further noted the bittersweet nature of leaving New Street Square, which has been a significant location for the firm over the last decade. “It has been the setting for an important period in the firm’s history – and has served us and our clients exceptionally well,” she added. Bunker expressed pride in the legacy of the previous office while looking forward to welcoming clients and colleagues to the new location at 100 Fetter Lane, which promises a larger and more sustainable environment for the team.
In addition to its London office, Blake Morgan maintains a presence in Oxford, Reading, Southampton, Manchester, and Cardiff.
