The firm, which has provided a full range of legal services from Belfast since 2015, is now based on Montgomery Street in the city centre.

Now with 15 staff, the office is led by partners Lisa Bryson, Gareth Planck and Matthew Howse, working across several main practice areas including real estate, banking, immigration and employment, procurement and litigation.

The Belfast office works closely with the firm’s Dublin office, offering expert legal services including a specialist ‘Brexit hub’ across the island of Ireland and the UK.

Alan Murphy, Ireland managing partner, said: “We are thrilled to have moved into new offices right in the heart of Belfast city centre. This move demonstrates our commitment to Northern Ireland and will allow us to increase the Eversheds Sutherland footprint in the region.

“As an international law firm, we have an ambitious growth strategy and we recognise the role which Belfast and Northern Ireland has to play in that. Since 2015 we have led the way in changing the face of legal services and have provided a service that meets the needs of businesses.

“This new office space will see us further develop our services and offering in Northern Ireland. With more room it will allow us to host internal client events and gives us more flexibility in our growth path which is hugely exciting.”
