Newcastle barristers Parklane Plowden relocates to city centre

A North East law firm has become the latest firm to move away from Newcastle Quayside into the city centre to aid its growth.

Parklane Plowden Chambers is relocating from its Newcastle premises in Lombard House to new offices within Portland House in the city centre. The move is part of its strategic growth plans and will also bring them closer to Newcastle Civic Centre where the Newcastle Civil & Family Courts and Tribunals Centre is located.

The relocation will see Parklane Plowden’s members and team of six clerks, led by chambers’ director Michael Stubbs and practice director Sharon Robson, take up 2,000 sq ft of space on the first floor of the Grade-II listed building on New Bridge Street. Parklane Plowden will join the first round of tenants, including specialist maritime and international trade solicitors, Mills & Co, and business advisors Begbies Traynor Group, which moved into Portland House in April following the multimillion-pound transformation of the former Newcastle Business Society head office by developers Oliver Holland and James Keegan.
