The commercial law firm said its move from Victoria Street marks a period of growth and change for the firm, which celebrated 125 years in business in 2021.

Designed by Ply Design and executed by specialist fit-out firm, Somerville, the office space is open plan and purpose-built to promote collaboration. The move was project managed by Johnston Houston.

Built by property developers MRP, The Ewart — a merger of a historic building in the city’s Linen Quarter with a brand new 17-storey expansion — has achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating, aligning with Tughans’ sustainability goals.

Patrick Brown, managing partner of Tughans, said: “The move to The Ewart marks a new era for Tughans. Having outgrown our offices in Victoria Street, we sought a new office that was appropriate for the forward thinking and innovative firm that we have become.

“With impeccable sustainability credentials and enviable views across the city, The Ewart was the perfect choice and will support our ESG targets. We’re excited that we have now moved in and can start to make it our own.”

David Jones, real estate partner at Tughans, added: “With an open plan layout, the new office will help to nurture a collaborative environment and foster new ways of working between teams in the firm.

“It is very much designed with our staff and our clients in mind to create a welcoming, comfortable yet professional atmosphere. With various private meeting and events spaces along with relaxed common areas, we look forward to welcoming clients to the building.”
