Law firm makes move to new home

Irwin Mitchell is relocating to The Colmore Building in Birmingham’s central business district this week.

The law firm has leased the seventh and ninth floors of the Colmore Building, comprising 46,750 sq ft of office space.

It will become the new home to Irwin Mitchell’s Birmingham office which has a head count of 320 members of staff.

The law firm reported increased turnover to £263m last year and has a national headcount of 3000.

Lisa Jordan, regional managing partner at the Birmingham office of Irwin Mitchell, said: “This is a hugely exciting move for every member of the Birmingham team. Such a big change is a clear statement of our ambition and intent and underlines our commitment to clients in the city and the wider Midlands region.

“The Colmore Building meets all our needs. New Street is just a few minutes’ walk away, so transport links are ideal. Coupled with the superb facilities, we can offer our people and clients alike the high standards they expect from Irwin Mitchell, while the building itself reflects our firm wide pledge to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact.

“The office space has been designed to make the most of flexible working and to help improve wellbeing for our colleagues as well as being welcoming for our clients and business partners across the region. We are confident that we can continue to attract and retain the very best talent and we now have the space to grow and the tools we need to embark on the next 30 years of our successful journey in the region.”
