Law firm signals ‘scale of ambition’ with office move

A national law firm has relocated its Cardiff headquarters following a year of double-digit growth.

Acuity Law has moved from Cardiff Bay to 3 Callaghan Square in the city centre as it prepares for its next phase of expansion.

The relocation follows a 15 per cent increase in turnover, with annual revenue on track to exceed £20 million.

Bosses say the move forms part of continued investment in South Wales while providing a platform for further growth across the firm’s national operations.

Steve Berry, chairman of Acuity Law, said: “Our move to 3 Callaghan Square is a clear, visible sign of how far this firm has come, and the scale of our ambition for what comes next.

“We’ve built a different kind of law firm, one that combines outstanding legal expertise with the commercial, agile, and entrepreneurial approach our clients expect and deserve. 

“In a world being reshaped by technology and AI, we're continuing to challenge the traditional ways legal services are delivered. 

“That’s helping us win new clients, attract great people and compete on a national stage.”

Acuity, which employs more than 120 specialist lawyers across Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea, London and Liverpool, plans to continue expanding its work with high-growth businesses over the next five years.

The firm is also looking to attract experienced lawyers through a flexible model allowing partners to join as employees or consultants, supported by its technology and legal AI tools.

Acuity has advised on corporate transactions worth more than £750 million during the past 12 months, including the sale of Hereford-based Global RadioData Communications to Marlink.

Gareth Baker, senior partner, added: “We also see real opportunity ahead: in energy, as investment in infrastructure and the transition to a lower-carbon economy continues at pace; in banking and finance, as businesses navigate a changing funding and investment landscape; and in health and social care, where providers and investors are adapting to major regulatory change.

“In each of these markets, our job is the same: to provide commercial solutions that support and protect our clients' businesses and help them succeed. 

“The new all-electric office space delivered by Rightacres provides us with a great base for our staff and clients and is well connected with our other Acuity offices.”
