The firm has embraced a new open plan environment to make room for over 60 staff, having had just 14 lawyers when moving into the space in 1999 — the firm’s 40th anniversary year.

The partners decided prior to the pandemic to renovate the existing office at 21 Arthur Street instead of relocating.

Chris Guy, managing partner at Mills Selig, said: “We have witnessed the area’s transformation from a slightly downtrodden street to a vibrant hub of shops and eateries. This progress mirrors our own journey of growth and modernisation.

“Our investment in this renovation reflects our dedication to our team and clients who love the area, and also supports the development of Belfast city centre.”

Anne Skeggs, head of property and partner at Mills Selig, added: “Arthur Street is more than just an address for us, it is our home, and we are pleased to remain true to our roots.

“We were passionate about creating a comfortable, energising space which encourages our people to do their very best for our clients. The smiles on everyone’s faces as the new office was revealed was an amazing experience.”

“Our office is flooded with natural light from floor to ceiling windows with everyone working together, sharing their experience — that can only build an even stronger offering.”
