Law firm plans Nottingham expansion

The head of a Nottingham law firm has hailed its first year in the city as “exciting” and says the practice is set to grow even further in 2016.

James Coppinger, head of Nottingham office, partner and head of construction & engineering at Buckles, says the Park Row firm, which has grown beyond expectations, has “everything in place for a very strong 2016”.

Coppinger said: “It has been fantastic being part of a new office and seeing the business grow, both in terms of the number of employees and clients. Within six months we had to take more office space as a result of increasing workloads which is testament to the personal way in which we deliver our services. From a city point of view, it’s great to see Nottingham attract more businesses and investors. There’s a very exciting feel around the city, and we want to remain a part of it.”

Coppinger added that Buckles’ key focus will now be to maintain and grow Buckles’ profile in the region. He said: “Our plan is to foster and develop relationships with key intermediaries, identify new regionally based target clients and nurture existing relationships, attract new and exciting work; and to recruit the right people at the right time so we can continue our journey.”
