Staff will move into the new headquarters of the Solicitors Regulation Authority from this summer, it has been confirmed.

The Cube development in Birmingham will also be the base for Midlands Law Society employees who provide support services. Chancery Lane in London will continue to be the Law Society’s headquarters.

Around 700 staff members who currently work from sites in Redditch and Leamington Spa will re-locate to the 57,000 sq ft building in the Westside district of the city.

The Law Society and SRA will occupy all remaining large office floors at the development and a 21-year lease has been signed.

Desmond Hudson, chief executive of the Law Society, said: ‘Consolidating our four current Midlands buildings and all our Midlands-based staff together in one building will reduce our costs, make us more effective and more efficient and support the provision of high-quality services for our members.

‘The Cube offers us a better, greener and more centrally located working environment, topped with first-class transport links.’
