NORTH law firm Ward Hadaway is expanding outside its heartland to launch a new office in Birmingham city centre.

The company, which already has bases in Manchester and Leeds alongside its Newcastle head office, is opening its fourth base in the newly refurbished Chamberlain Square - its first new office opening in well over a decade.

This move is one of the components of its ambitious growth plans announced last year, in which the firm outlined its objective to double its turnover within the next decade.

Ward Hadaway is also still in talks to merge with Teesside-based law firm, The Endeavour Partnership.

The firm said it is currently recruiting new staff for the Birmingham team.
