Law firm Stone King has moved from its head office in Bath to a new location in the city after nearly 200 years.
The company has been based in Bath for 236 years and at its Queen Square headquarters since 1832.
The firm provides specialist legal advice to the education; charity and social enterprise; business; and private client sectors.
Stone King's main office at 12 and 13 Queen Square and its 3 Queen Square base, which primarily housed the firm’s personal law teams, closed permanently on Friday, October 29.
The business, which employs more than 230 people at its offices around the UK, has moved all its staff in Bath to Upper Borough Court (UBC) on Upper Borough Walls, near Waitrose.
Steven Greenwood, Stone King’s managing partner, said the “exciting” move would mean all the firm’s Bath-based specialists and teams would now be working together at the same location.
He said: “[The move is] providing clients with a seamless and accessible service all under the same roof.”
Alison Allen, chair and head of Stone King’s private client sector, added: “If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 18 months, it is the importance of constantly moving forward and adapting whilst holding on tight to our core values.
“We’re incredibly proud of Stone King’s working history in Bath and our story in the city now continues with a new chapter. We look forward to welcoming our clients at our new home.”
In February 2018, Stone King took office space at UBC to accommodate ongoing growth. It has now taken extra office space as part of its complete relocation of Bath teams under one roof.
