People are excited to work in a modern, collaborative environment, which is exactly the culture we want to keep building as we grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The firm says its current Rowcroft office in Stroud \u2014 a listed building set over several floors \u2014 has served it well but its layout and parking are less suited to modern requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The new office brings the Stroud team together in an open, shared environment and offers more meeting space, improved parking and better infrastructure for clients who prefer online meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The office sits close to the M5 and is served by train and bus links, with a stop nearby, and is walkable from Stonehouse town centre.<\/p>\n<p>The Rowcroft office will remain open until the move, with a short closure planned in December.<\/p>\n<p>WSP Solicitors says it will continue to support its charity partner, Maggie&#8217;s, along with local events including the Stroud Beer Festival and the pantomime at the Subscription Rooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WSP Solicitors moving to M5 base in 2027<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":48182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[120902,9],"coauthors":[160],"class_list":["post-48181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legal","category-property","tag-featured-story","tag-gloucestershire"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
