Carbon Law Partners

Firm opens office in Bristol

Carbon Law Partners has opened its first new office outside Wales in Bristol’s Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.

Carbon has joined the enterprise community in Boxworks, the pioneering office space created to support the Engine Shed, recently named the UK’s top incubator hub and the global no.2. Boxworks is an iconic space and makes it easy for growing businesses to expand.

“Bristol was the obvious choice for our first new office” says Neville Catton, Carbon’s Bristol head of location. “Bristol is the UK’s largest legal centre after London, one of the UK’s only two smart cities (along with London) and in 2015 was named as the best area (outside London) to set up and grow a business.

“We’re loving being part of Boxworks and surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs who are focused, growing and having fun. It’s perfect for Carbon: creative and collaborative. We can be part of the buzzy, enterprise culture at the Engine Shed and still have quiet, heads down space when we need to think.” 

Nominations for the Halsbury Legal Awards 2016, in association with NLJ, are now open. Visit the site to view all the categories and enter online. #Halsbury2016
