A Bournemouth law firm has moved its main office across town after 40 years in Charminster.
Ellis Jones Solicitors has taken two floors at Midland House, which is by St Michaels Roundabout to the west of the town centre, and has moved nearly 100 team members from its longstanding base at 302 Charminster Road.
The 6,760 sq ft office is open plan and includes soundproof pods and breakout rooms, with space for 94 team members, a number that is just over half the firm’s staff, as part of a lease that runs for 15 years.
Managing partner Lauren Day said Midland House offers a “light, flexible” space that will improve the experience for clients and “support our team’s health and wellbeing”, while helping specialist teams work more closely.
The firm has also taken premises at 372 Charminster Road, a former bank, for its Wills, Trusts and Probate and Property teams, as Lauren said it wants to keep roots in Charminster and Queen’s Park.
The Bournemouth relocation follows office changes in London and Dorchester since last year, and the firm also has offices in Poole, Ringwood, Swanage, Broadstone and Wimborne as part of a wider network across Dorset, Hampshire and London.
