Cardiff office insights
Office culture
Located in the heart of the city centre’s main business district, our Cardiff office is a short walk from the Cardiff Central and Queen Street train stations. In June 2024, the office relocated to 2 Callaghan Square, occupying 3,172 sq ft of space on the second floor of this prime location.
For the past decade, our Cardiff office has been a key presence in the city, housing x staff members, including 6 partners. While the office covers various areas of law, the largest teams specialise in social housing, banking and financial services, commercial property, corporate law and construction.
The state-of-the-art office covers 3,172 sq. ft of space and has an impressive business lounge, making it perfect for collaborative, more relaxed meetings or for catching up with colleagues over coffee. With adjustable standing desks, privacy booths and a range of meetings and conference rooms there is also plenty of space for quiet, more focussed work.
Located near the vibrant city centre, our office is ideally situated amidst some of Cardiff’s finest cafes, restaurants, and bars. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a place for after-work drinks, or a venue for client events, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from.
With a warm and welcoming culture, our friendly Cardiff office host regular social events so colleagues across all sectors and teams can get to know each other better. You can look forward to team breakfasts at some of Cardiff’s best brunch spots, and regular evening socials.
In March 2025, members of our Cardiff office took part in a world record attempt to clean up the city’s riverside. The ‘Taff Tidy’ took place in various locations along the River Taff, including Merthyr Vale, Pontypridd and Cardiff.

Later, in November 2024, partner James Williams joined and established a construction team, further bolstering the office’s service offering.
