LAW firm Shoosmiths has signalled its intent to grow its share of the market in Northern Ireland after moving into bigger offices in the heart of Belfast’s legal district.
Primarily focused on recoveries and commercial financial services, it arrived in the city in December 2016 following a merger with Belfast firm McManus Kearney.
Now it has moved from Montgomery Street to a 6,620 sq ft contemporary refurbished grade A office building in East Bridge Street, close to the High Court.
Head of office Jason Byrne said: “The firm as a whole has an ambitious growth strategy, and the Belfast office has its own role to play in delivering on that vision.
“Two recent real estate partners have seen us move into new territory to expand our legal services. This is just the tip of the iceberg and these offices will give us a springboard to attract further talent across all of our divisions."
He added: “These long-awaited new premises really are a watershed moment for the Belfast teams. We have all worked tremendously hard and been extremely patient to finally have an office befitting the Shoosmiths brand and we can’t wait to show it off to friends, clients and colleagues alike.”
Shoosmiths has offices in a number of UK cities including Birmingham, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Reading, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Nottingham, Southampton and Basingstoke.
