International law firm relocate to new city premises

International law firm Trowers & Hamlins' Birmingham office is relocating to One Snowhill, at the heart of Birmingham's Colmore Business District, to accommodate for its ambitious growth and sustainability strategy.

Trowers & Hamlins has signed a 10-year lease at One Snowhill, for 17,000 sq. ft. located on floor 3, moving from 10 Colmore Row where it has been for over 13 years.

The firm has worked together with Knight Frank on the lease and CBRE and Overbury on the fit out.

Partner and head of the Birmingham office, Yetunde Dania (pictured) said: "We are so excited about moving to our new office, it brings an enhanced new working environment for our staff and vibrant space for our clients to enjoy.

“The move demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the city, remaining in the same business district to not only continue being accessible for clients, but also to accommodate for our continued growth.

“This also supports our firmwide growth strategy and our mission to be more sustainable as a business. We're really looking forward to welcoming everybody."

Head of facilities and property, Rob Slater said: "As part of our ongoing investment commitment to our Real Estate, the relocation will bring together our people into a contemporary workspace that is primary designed to support hybrid working, featuring new flexible areas to support both collaborative and individual focus working, alongside excellent meeting, and event spaces, to enhance our clients and visitors experience.

“Union Investment's commitment to sustainability at One Snowhill, including sourcing renewable energy, improving the EPC rating, and plans for decarbonisation by replacing natural gas with electric alternatives, was a key factor in our decision to relocate."

Peter McNamara, director of Union Investment Real Estate said: "We are delighted to welcome Trowers & Hamlins to One Snowhill.

“Following a stylish refurbishment of the reception and with committed plans to electrify the asset within the next 12 months, Trowers & Hamlins will be at home within the newly repositioned One Snowhill."

Trowers & Hamlins will relocate in December 2024.
