And yes, we're all aboard the 'hot-desking' bandwagon but who isn't in 2021!? There's nothing better than a modern, open plan workspace that encourages learning & development and a sense of camaraderie - friendly Concierge included. If that hasn't convinced you then discounted drinks in the integrated cafe, fresh fruit and Friday drinks definitely will. Oh and for those keen cyclists and gym goers, there's secure bike storage and shower facilities.

We have a diverse team of over 150 Partners, 220 Fee Earners and 350 Support staff, and every team has a presence in the office, with the main areas including corporate, IP, technology and outsourcing & regulatory law.

But please don't take our word for it, check out our website and social media accounts to see for yourself!
