Pinsent Masons to move to new Glasgow office

Law firm Pinsent Masons is to move its Glasgow city centre office after signing up to become the first tenants of the £35 million Lucent Building.

A 15-year lease has been agreed which will see Pinsent Masons’ 300-strong Glasgow operation move to the ESG Grade A development at 50 Bothwell Street in 2024.

At Lucent, Pinsent Masons will occupy part of the fourth floor and the entire fifth and sixth floors, totalling 27,561 sq ft. The fifth floor features extensive private external terraces, while the sixth floor will offer a newly created rooftop reception and meeting space for clients, a spacious south-facing social space with a meeting terrace for staff and further private terraces. 

Pinsent Masons partner and Head of Glasgow, Barry McCaig, said: “Lucent is a bold choice for Pinsent Masons but the inspired transformation of this stunning building on Bothwell Street times perfectly with our current lease expiry, which meant we were able to act fast to secure the top two and half floors of prime real estate in Glasgow’s business district.

“Post-Covid, we all recognise that weekly working patterns have changed and staff have a wish-list and requirements of the office environment. Our vision for Lucent will exceed expectations and ensure Pinsent Masons remains an attractive proposition for current and future employees, wherever they are on the career path.”
