International law firm marks new office launch with key celebration

International law firm Trowers & Hamlins marked the launch of its new office in Birmingham with a celebration bringing together key spokespeople, clients and friends from across the region.

The new premises at One Snowhill opened at the end of 2024 and continues Trowers' reputable status in the heart of Birmingham's business district, with a vibrant collaborative working space aligned with the firm's growth strategy and sustainability goals.

All of the pieces of art at the Trowers One Snowhill office are by artists living and working in the region.

Each one has been selected to reflect a different aspect of the region using a variety of media and were sourced or commissioned through collaboration with the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (established for more than 200 years in the city), Colley Ison Gallery and Seventh Circle.

Rachel Dowling-Jones, director at Royal Birmingham Society of Artists said: "It's been great working with Trowers on this project and shows how important it is for businesses to interact with the arts.

“The artwork has really elevated the space and it demonstrates how Trowers are practising what they preach in terms of embedding themselves across different all levels and parts of the community."

The firm's Birmingham office originally opened in 2011 with 11 people and has grown to 130 with a widespread offering including; real estate, dispute resolution, corporate and commercial, employment, construction, banking and finance and more.

Partner Yetunde Dania who was part of the original cohort of staff, has been head of the Birmingham office for five years.

Yetunde said: "It is fantastic to be able to bring everybody together to celebrate our new premises and our achievements over the past 13 years.

“I am incredibly proud of the significant growth and success of our Birmingham office which is testament to each and everyone who works here.

“This energy efficient space not only fits with our sustainability targets, but it will allow us to work collaboratively and to grow even more.

“Over the past 14 years we have played a significant role in shaping our community from our work on the Commonwealth games, the introduction of 5G to our dedication to our outreach work with Birmingham Open Media (BOM), Common Purpose, Core Education Trust and the Care leaver Covenant to name but a few.

“I'd like to thank our staff, our clients and our supporters who have shown their continued support as we settle into our new home and everything that is to come for the future."

Recently the office has welcomed new hires, Rachael Hobbis and Natalie Singh specialising in projects and construction and housing finance respectively.
