Banbury's leading law firm relocates its Commercial Law departments to Gilmarde House, 47 South Bar Street, with new luxury meeting rooms provided at 52-54 The Green.

Following its Legal 500 success, leading Banbury law firm Spratt Endicott has announced its intention to move all staff into two locations, allowing clients easier access through a contemporary one-stop shop approach.

Reviewing how its client service levels could be further improved, Spratt Endicott's decision to relocate all business services into two venues is a continuation of the firm's pledge to save clients unnecessary costs while providing for further growth.

Alterations to Gilmarde House, 47 South Bar Street and 52-54 The Green, are currently being undertaken by an expert team of architects, planners and project managers. Once refurbished, the two locations will become home to all of SES' staff. Located in County Chambers until the end of November, the Debt Recovery, Company Commercial, Employment and Dispute Resolution will move to Gilmarde House while Property Logic, Property Plus and IT will be relocated to 52-54 The Green. 

Aligning its services into two dedicated locations will enable Spratt Endicott to offer an even higher level of service to its clients and, once relocated, the firm will occupy almost 13,000 square feet of office space across the two premises.

John Spratt, senior partner at Spratt Endicott Solicitors, comments: "We purchased Gilmarde House a couple of years ago in advance of our lease with the County Chambers Office expiring next month, so it has been our plan for some time to relocate those departments currently residing in the County Chambers. Their move will effectively allow us to house all of our business services in one easy-to-access location, while the other will be used by our administration and Private Client teams." 

Gilmarde House's refurbishment will be combined with altering 52-54 The Green to maintain the quality of that listed building. Gilmarde house will provide high-quality fully air-conditioned facilities for both staff and clients as well as additional office space. Recent design changes to 52-54 The Green includes the  creation of a luxury boardroom complete with state-of-art facilities, including the latest Smartboard interactive whiteboard, projection facilities for meetings and presentations and improved confidentiality through leading-edge acoustic attenuation. The Commercial Law departments' move to Gilmarde House will also provide additional parking spaces, giving secure parking facilities to visitors.
