Halliwells to Invest in New Liverpool Office Committing to a New Lease Until 2031

Law firm Halliwells has agreed terms to take on new office space in Liverpool and will in the process enter into a lease until 2031.

Halliwells currently occupies 21,000 sq ft on the 7th floor at The Plaza, 100 Old Hall Street, Liverpool. The new lease will see the firm move to the 8th floor which, due to an innovative fit out, creates an additional 2,000 sq ft of space. The firm will also have the option to take on additional space in the future to facilitate ongoing expansion.

Said Ian Austin, Executive Chairman at Halliwells:

"Liverpool is very much important to our business and this is a significant development for the office."

Said Jonathan Brown, Managing Partner at Halliwells:

"The growth of the office over the last few years has resulted in the need for more accommodation. We looked at a number of alternatives throughout the city but have decided to stay at the Plaza as it provides first rate office accommodation and is conveniently located for staff and clients alike."

Said Sue Russell, partner and head of Halliwells’ Liverpool office:

"We were the first legal firm to move to this part of Liverpool in 1991 when the firm was known Cuff Roberts.

"The area has grown and developed ever since and we are now located right in the centre of Liverpool’s legal fraternity. We are delighted to be investing in our Liverpool office and committing to the City by extending our stay."

Halliwells' move to the 8th floor of the Plaza is scheduled for March next year.
