Law firm Browne Jacobson has made a strong recommitment to Birmingham city centre by renegotiating its occupation of existing space within Victoria Square House, the Grade II listed commercial building owned by F & C. 

Browne Jacobson, represented by Drivers Jonas, has entered into a new ten year lease, incorporating a five year break at an undisclosed rent and market incentives. 

Iain Blatherwick, managing partner at Browne Jacobson said: "We are delighted to have agreed a restructuring and extension of our lease.  Victoria Square House provides us with good open plan accommodation in a prominent building in the centre of the city and is an ideal base from which to develop our full-service offering in the West Midlands.  Although we had seriously considered moving to other buildings within the city centre the deal with our landlord made it attractive for us to stay." 

Jo Bligh, Corporate Partner added: "In this economic climate there are clearly attractive deals to be obtained from a number of good quality city centre office buildings. We decided to take advantage of a break clause to negotiate revised terms on our existing space and are delighted to have agreed a deal with our landlords which leaves us well placed to concentrate on our business from a reduced cost base."
