HCR Law expands into larger Shrewsbury offices after just six months

Six months after launching a new office in Shrewsbury, HCR Law has relocated to larger premises in the town.

The top 50 law firm is now settling into One Anchorage Avenue, Shrewsbury Business Park alongside another 100 companies which collectively employ more than 2,000 people on the site.

Neighbours include a range of professional firms and consultancies, including established businesses and start-ups.

Lynda Richards, HCR Partner and Head of the Shrewsbury Office, said: “We opened an office in Shrewsbury in response to growing client demand and have been delighted with the warm response we’ve received from the town’s business community.”

Alan Hay, Owner and Managing Director at Shrewsbury Business Park, added: “HCR Law has taken space in probably the best office building in Shrewsbury Business Park, at the Wenlock Road entrance. It was a pleasure to deal with them – tough but fair in all our negotiations.

“If that is an indication of how they represent their clients, then Shropshire welcomes a formidable new firm of lawyers.”

Russell Gwilliam, speaking on behalf construction company Matrix IDC which completed fit-out works for HCR Law’s new offices in just eight weeks, added: “We are delighted to have worked with HCR Law on their new offices and welcome them to Shrewsbury Business Park. They have been a pleasure to work with. We wish them every success in their new home and look forward to seeing them continue to grow within the business community.”

Since it opened in January this year, HCR Law’s Shrewsbury office (which provides the firm’s full legal service), has already expanded employee numbers, most recently appointing new partner Helen Barrett to the residential property team.

She joins Private Client Partners Lynda Richards and Amy Morris, Corporate Partners Arpinder Dhillon and Jenny Staples, Family Law Partners Victoria Fellows and Hannah Nicholls and Charlotte Nutting, a partner in our Agriculture and Estates Team.

The office is also home to colleagues from Commercial, Restructuring and Insolvency, Employment and Immigration teams.

In 2025, HCR Law was recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-growing law firms over the past decade.
