Law firm Clarke Willmott LLP has celebrated its recent move to a bigger office in London with a Summer in the City reception.

Over 150 people gathered for the event at 5 Helen’s Place, the company’s new base near Bishopsgate and the iconic Gherkin building.

Speaking at the gathering, chief exec Stephen Rosser said the relocation from 1 Chancery Lane followed a year of good revenue and profit growth for the firm.

He explained: “Our new London office fits well into Clarke Willmott’s strategy and strategic growth plans, and provides us with excellent facilities to serve our clients and the opportunity to grow existing teams to give greater strength and depth to existing services.

“It also provides growth space to allow for additional teams and other resources to expand services we are able to offer in London.”

The head of Clarke Willmott’s London office, Priscilla Hall, commented: “Our structure enables us to deliver great commercial solutions for our clients in ways that other London based firms cannot match.

“As a result we now have a growing base of excellent clients in London who are benefitting from working with a high quality team of London lawyers supported by esteemed regional colleagues.”

Clarke Willmott has seven offices across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Taunton and Southampton.
