The Manchester office of Forbes Solicitors is based in Church House which is undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment.
Forbes are a regional law firm with a 200 year history and 12 offices across the North of England. They employ 300 staff and are ranked as a Legal 500 Top Tier Firm.
TAG has been appointed by Forbes Solicitors to identify and acquire new premises for its Manchester office which is having to vacate its building in April 2024 following a decision by its new owner to comprehensively refurbish the property.
As part of our brief, we have had to assess the impact that increasing numbers of visiting clients and staff will have on the size and form of the office. This may result in greater demand for ad hoc meeting space and “hot desks”. Also, visiting clients and staff might benefit from having more generous kitchen and break out areas in which to interact. The availability of the on-site amenities such as bookable conference rooms and study cubicles might also prove vital to those working on a more agile basis.
The first building tours commenced in mid-October with a range of buildings being inspected. We are currently helping Forbes develop a final shortlist before detailed lease negotiations are entered into on the preferred choice.
We shall update this story in a few months’ time once the relocation is complete and the client has provided their feedback.
