The Birmingham team at national law firm Browne Jacobson has become the latest to sign up for space in a new city centre office development.
The firm has signed a ten-year lease on 12,146 sq ft on the 15th floor of 103 Colmore Row.
The move to the new 26-storey building will see Browne Jacobson’s 185-strong team relocate the short distance from its current home at Victoria Square House.
Managing partner Richard Medd said: “We are delighted to have agreed a lease for 103 Colmore Row. Since we opened our Birmingham office back in 1999, we have seen exceptional growth and we believe that this move heralds an exciting new chapter for us in the city.
