gunnercooke expands footprint with new offices

A legal and professional services firm is rapidly expanding its global presence.

gunnercooke has opened three new offices in 2025 in Frankfurt, Chicago and a second London location in the West End, while upsizing its existing Manchester and Leeds offices to accommodate growing demand. 

The firm now operates 16 offices across England, Scotland, Germany, Austria and the US.

The West End office, at 1 Great Cumberland Place, offers premium collaboration spaces and access to The Orchard, a private members’ bar and restaurant with panoramic Hyde Park views. 

Meanwhile, gunnercooke’s Manchester headquarters will move to a 16,000sq ft site at Pall Mall, Bruntwood SciTech, featuring flexible workspaces, a client suite and production studio. 

And in Leeds, the firm has launched an 18-desk office in West Village, serving the 45 partners now based in Yorkshire.

Darryl Cooke, founder of gunnercooke, said: “The entrepreneurial model is now widely recognised for providing a better way to service clients, people and communities. 

“Our growth has been exponential, particularly over the past five years. 

“One of the benefits of our model is that our people can work from wherever in the world they choose. 

“However, having these dedicated spaces in some of the most important cities for global business means we can offer more places to collaborate. 

“People thrive off connection and with an increased demand following a recruitment drive, we’ve prioritised securing more space to take forward our global ambitions.”

gunnercooke has grown by 21 per cent to £82 million in 2024, employing 842 people globally, including 409 partners. 

Its client base exceeds 45,000, with major names including Google, Jet2.com and Santander.
