Law firm to expand North East footprint with launch of tech-driven central hub

A North East law firm is set to open its third office space in the region as part of its ongoing expansion.

Gordon Brown Law Firm LLP (GBLF) has signed a 10-year lease for 12,624 sq ft of office space in Team Valley in Gateshead.

With existing offices in Chester-le-Street and Newcastle city centre, the new base will serve as a central hub for the firm, which specialises in family, residential conveyancing, wills and probate, dispute resolution, corporate and commercial law.

Kathryn Taylor, managing partner of GBLF, commented: “We started this journey over a year ago and we are all looking forward to the move to Team Valley.

“This move represents a significant milestone for our firm and demonstrates our commitment not only to our people, but also our clients and the North East.

“The new office space will give us room to continue to grow and give us increased visibility, to ensure we can offer our customers a more personalised service across the region.”

The new office design was created in partnership with fit-out specialist Ultimate (Commercial Interiors) Ltd and features a large staff breakout area and flexible configuration to support further expansion and growth.

Steve Cowley, associate director at Ultimate, explained: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with Gordon Brown Law LLP at such an exciting time for their business, the entire design process and project discussions with the Gordon Brown team has been a pleasure.

“By working closely together we have gained an insight to their business, including brand and core values and importantly the personalities within that will be reflected in our finished scheme.”
