Law firm Geldards is moving into Nottingham city centre to support its ambitions for business growth and client delivery.
The firm’s 90-strong Nottingham team is moving into a bespoke space at the Cubo Work offices next to Royal Standard Place – a landmark building at the heart of the city’s business quarter overlooking Nottingham Castle.
The move marks the next step in Geldards’ strategy of using new technologies and new ways of working to deliver an increasingly agile and responsive service. It is also being seen as a vote of confidence in Nottingham’s status as a hub for high-quality professional services in the East Midlands.
Geldards’ decision to move into the city centre follows a year of strong performance where revenue has enjoyed double-digit growth, and significant new hires have come on board, among them new partners Neil Walker and Jay Atubra, strengthening the firm’s property and networks teams respectively.
David Williams, Geldards’ chairman and head of the Nottingham office, said: “The way we deliver for our clients has been changing significantly over the past few years and that evolution towards a more agile and responsive service has been accelerated by the pandemic.
“We’ve looked carefully at the best ways for our people to deliver for clients and colleagues, and the conclusion is clear: provide our teams with the tools to deliver wherever they are, supported by a destination that reflects both Geldards’ status and our willingness to do things differently.
“We have been working with Cubo for the past few months to develop a purpose-built space that sets a new standard and supports our future ambitions, and we’re all excited about the fact that it brings Geldards into the city centre. Our business is defined by its talent and expertise, and we believe this move will help us continue to attract the best people as we grow.”
The new offices at Standard Court – which include a rotunda looking out across the city – place Geldards at the heart of Nottingham’s business quarter and close to a range of professional services the firm frequently collaborates with. It is also next to the University of Law, a critical stakeholder and important source of legal talent for the future.
Geldards also has a major office presence at Pride Park in Derby, and will be announcing plans to evolve and enhance its presence in the city in the Spring.
