Law firm Pinsent Masons has completed a move into new offices in the centre of Edinburgh’s financial district.
More than 200 lawyers and business operations colleagues will have access to the 25,000 sq ft premises in capital square in Morrison Street.
The firm factored into the design of the new office the changing working practises due to the pandemic and to meet the company’s environmental objectives and to promote wellbeing.
Partner and head of office Edinburgh, Ewan Alexander, said: “We have long-established agile working practices across the firm’s international locations, but we felt it was necessary to review how the pandemic had changed staff attitudes to hybrid working and how we could best maximise the space available.
“As a result, we dialled down the number of physical workstations by more than 20% and freed up space to introduce more collaboration zones and meeting spaces within the new office. The design team put a lot of thought into the aesthetics, moving away from the older and colder office styles, to create a warmer more welcoming environment.
“We also revised our technological needs in view of the lessons learned from working through the pandemic, and now have a single video technology which is accessible for every user, be that on a meeting room screen or on an individual laptop or mobile device.”
