Morecrofts agrees 15,000 sq ft Bruntwood deal

ONE of Liverpool’s oldest law firms, Morecrofts Solicitors, has taken 15,000 sq ft at Bruntwood’s Cotton Exchange.

It is moving to the Old Hall Street block from Tithebarn Street and will occupy the Cotton Yard space that was formerly the city’s register office.

Bruntwood is refurbishing the office ahead of the move in the autumn.

Managing partner Alison Lobb said: “Our current head office on Tithebarn Street has served the firm fantastically well over the past 10 years and whilst we’re sad to leave, this is an important step for us, as Cotton Yard provides the space and facilities to support all we want to achieve over the next ten years.

“Cotton Yard also puts us at the epicentre of Liverpool’s commercial district and, as the firm continues to grow, there’s no question that this is where we need to be.”

Colin Forshaw, head of property at Bruntwood, said: “When we set about the refurbishment of Cotton Yard, we did so with the intention of attracting an established and forward-thinking professional services firm, and that’s exactly what we have achieved.

“Morecrofts is synonymous with Liverpool’s professional community, one of the city’s oldest independent law firms and simply a perfect customer for this new-look space. We’re pleased to see Morecrofts join an ever-expanding cluster of thriving businesses at Cotton Exchange and we can’t wait for them to make Cotton Yard their new home.”
