Lodders signs lease on new Birmingham office

Lodders has signed a lease on new state-of-the-art premises in Birmingham as part of the next stage of our ambitious growth plans.

Lodders is taking 6,500 sq ft of space at 1 Newhall Street in the heart of Birmingham’s business district and is expecting to make the move in September following fit-out works over the Summer.

We have operated an office in Birmingham for eight years at St Paul’s Square, where our top-ranking family law team is based along with members of our construction, business services, real estate, and commercial litigation teams. By expanding our footprint in Birmingham, Lodders aims to provide a platform for continued growth across the firm, whilst also bringing our market-leading private client offering to the city.

Supporting our consistent flight to quality and excellence

Lodders’ managing partner Paul Mourton says:”We are delighted to be expanding our presence in Birmingham with a fantastic and well-located office in order to build further on our strong growth and allow us to service our clients’ needs most effectively, across a full range of commercial and private law services. The move will bolster our plans to create new jobs and importantly enable us to recruit a wider and more diverse pool of talent. In addition, the new premises provide us with a new blueprint of what Lodders’ offices look and feel like, with sustainability features that ensure we meet the highest standards of energy efficiency and staff wellbeing, building on our existing, established culture.

“Our new space at 1 Newhall Street will support our consistent flight to quality and excellence. With established offices in Stratford upon Avon, Birmingham, Henley in Arden and Cheltenham, the firm’s client base continues to grow, and our fantastic new facilities in Birmingham will provide us with the opportunity to accelerate this growth across multiple practice areas.”

A move towards a sustainable future

Lodders was supported in its search for new Birmingham office by independent commercial property consultancy, Siddall Jones.

Director Edward Siddall-Jones comments: “Lodders’ relocation to 1 Newhall Street, Birmingham, is a landmark move towards a more sustainable future. The building’s extensive sustainability features, from efficient water and energy systems to advanced lighting solutions and supportive transport facilities, make it a model of modern, eco-friendly office design. By choosing such a forward-thinking workspace, the firm is not only enhancing its operational efficiency but also making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.”

Ben Thacker, Director at Savills, representing the landlord NFU Mutual, comments: “NFU Mutual is delighted to welcome Lodders to 1 Newhall Street which we acquired at the start of the year, attracted by the prime central location, high-quality building specification and strong sustainability credentials which align with our aspirations and the requirements of modern office occupiers. Lodders will perfectly complement the existing, high-profile occupiers and will benefit from NFU Mutual’s ongoing future investment into the building proposed over the coming months to further enhance the offer.“
