Birmingham
The Raging Bull, which was a popular feature of the 2022 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, is installed in Birmingham’s iconic New Street Station. The mechanical bull is made of materials from Birmingham and the Black Country. We admire the hard work and passion that went into creating the bull which is why we’ve featured it.

Our Birmingham solicitors
Client demand for a wider range of legal services in an easily accessible location led to our expansion into Birmingham’s Cornerblock building in 2022. Our solicitors are right in the heart of Birmingham’s professional services community, meaning we’re well connected to a network of financial services, accounting, creative and other professionals throughout the city.
We know our clients need the very best advice when it comes to their business – our specialist Corporate, Banking, Finance and Restructuring and Insolvency teams know Birmingham’s businesses inside out, combining their knowledge of the market with years of experience in the region. We also work with business leaders and other individuals on their family and personal wealth matters.
Our office is located in the contemporary Cornerblock building, located a few minutes’ walk from Birmingham Snow Hill station in the city centre.
Bringing legal expertise to businesses and community
Our location and connections means we can offer the full suite of legal services to our clients across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Our team is award winning. You might not know that in 2023 we were the most active deal makers in the West Midlands.
We also like to get involved with community projects. We’ve been supporting St Basils – a charity working with young people to help them find a home and develop skills – to raise much-needed funds. We’re a team that loves to support local causes where our people live and work.
