Law firm Irwin Mitchell has announced that it is opening a new office in Cardiff in mid-May.
The Cardiff site is one of two offices being opened by the Sheffield-headquartered law firm, with the second office due to open in Liverpool and also in mid-May.
The move comes after the firm adopted a ‘flexible by choice’ approach to hybrid working for its colleagues who can choose where and when they work subject to client requirements.
Partner Julie Lewis will lead the team in Cardiff as well as remaining managing partner in Bristol.
The openings increase the firm’s UK offices to 17 locations which offer more flexible working options for its employees.
Irwin Mitchell recently moved offices in Southampton where its new premises catered for hybrid working with half the space devoted to collaborative working.
Andrew Tucker, chief executive at Irwin Mitchell, said: “Opening in these two new locations is a natural move for us. For our existing clients and contacts in these regions we’re providing a better experience by moving even closer to them.
“It also allows us to accelerate our growth around both Cardiff and Liverpool and work with even more people and businesses in these areas.
“While our colleagues have successfully embraced our approach to hybrid or flexible working, we recognise the importance of office space, particularly in providing opportunities to meet with our clients and expand our commitment to the local community.”
