Shoosmiths staff celebrate official opening of Edinburgh office

More than 150 staff and special guests of law firm Shoosmiths gathered to celebrate at the official opening of the firm’s new office in the £350m mixed use development at 1 Haymarket Square in Edinburgh’s west end.  

Shoosmiths was the first tenant to move into Haymarket Square in April. The law firm has agreed a 15-year lease with property developer Qmile Group for 16,383sq ft of modern office space on the second floor.

Janette Speed, real estate partner and head of Scotland for Shoosmiths, said: “I am very proud to welcome our colleagues and guests to Shoosmiths’ new, cutting-edge office space in Scotland’s capital city. Close to key transportation links, our office is designed specifically to meet the needs of the hybrid working environment and is ideal for collaborative working and socialisation. 

“Together with our colleagues in Glasgow and throughout the UK, we will use this innovative space, that conforms to high environmental standards, to continue to provide first class specialist legal expertise to our local, national and international client base.”
