The move marks another milestone in the firm\u2019s continued expansion following private equity investment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1178\">Located directly opposite Leeds Station, 1 City Square is one of the city\u2019s most prominent Grade A office buildings, offering exceptional connectivity, a thriving occupier community, and an extensive range of on-site amenities. The relocation reinforces HGF\u2019s long-standing presence in Leeds, where the firm has established itself as a leading name in the intellectual property sector and a trusted partner to clients across the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1224\">A spokesperson for the landlord said: \u201cWe are pleased to welcome HGF to 1 City Square, following the successful completion of our CAT A refurbishment on the fourth floor. This letting underscores the building\u2019s strong appeal to global occupiers and reflects continued tenant demand for high-quality, Grade A office space, as the \u2018flight to quality\u2019 trend continues to drive market activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"2011\">The move follows a period of sustained growth for HGF, which has continued to expand its European footprint and invest in the infrastructure needed to support its integrated network of patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys, and IP litigators.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2054\">Martyn Fish, CEO of HGF, added:\u201cOur move to 1 City Square reflects both the firm\u2019s continued growth and our investment in creating a workplace that supports collaboration, innovation, and client service. Leeds has always been a key hub for HGF, and this relocation provides us with a modern, flexible space that matches the ambitions of the firm as we expand across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move marks another milestone in the firm\u2019s continued expansion following private equity
