Newcastle law firm reveals city centre expansion for 2018

Newcastle law firm Samuel Phillips has revealed plans to expand to larger office space in the heart of the city.

Taking up residency at 18-24 Grey Street, a Grade II listed building which has been the subject of much refurbishment work following a multi million pound purchase, the company will soon leave its current premise near Newcastle Central Station behind.

The move, set for early 2018, will allow the business to accommodate more staff, centralise operations and launch a fresh look.

The news follows the company investing over £85k in its IT and technology systems whilst also renewing its Lexcel accreditation, a quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and excellence in client care.

The Grey Street offices, which were acquired by investment company Stessa Commercial, are being marketed and managed by leading North East property firm Bradley Hall.

Robert Gibson, partner and head of property and commercial law for the firm, said: “This is a significant time of growth for the business as it comes up to its 100th anniversary.

“We have invested heavily in our technology systems, our staff training and are looking forward to welcoming more members to the team and growing our client base.”

Neil Hart, group managing director at Bradley Hall, said: “This is a fantastic move for Samuel Phillips as it continues to strengthen, expand and continue as an excellent law firm.

“The updated office space will provide a new and improved environment for the company, further raising its profile in the city centre and providing an impressive space to welcome clients.”

Mr Gibson added: “The process of signing up to move to Grey Street in early 2018 has been a pleasure. The team at Bradley Hall and the landlord have been responsive, helpful and nothing short of excellent.

“The entire team and partnership between us all have made the process incredibly easy and we are now looking forward to the big move.”
