Acuity Law, the fast growing national law firm headquartered in Cardiff, has moved to new city centre headquarters following a period of excellent growth as it continues to challenge how legal services are delivered through the use of technology, innovative solutions and a more commercial approach to supporting clients.
As part of its continued investment in South Wales, the firm has relocated its head office from Cardiff Bay to 3 Callaghan Square, a prominent commercial office building developed and owned by Cardiff Based property company, Rightacres. Located in the heart of Cardiff’s premier business district and adjacent to the city centres public transport hub, the move marks an important milestone in Acuity Law’s continued development.
The relocation follows a successful year for the firm, with turnover increasing by 15% and annual revenue on track to exceed 20 million pounds. Over the next five years, Acuity will continue to focus on supporting its portfolio of high growth clients, helping them scale their businesses, seize new opportunities and, where appropriate, achieve successful exits. This ambition is underpinned by a national reputation across some of the UK’s most dynamic sectors, including energy, defence, technology, and health and social care.
With over 120 specialist lawyers working across a network of five offices and a connected national team, Acuity combines technical excellence, commercial insight and technology-enabled delivery to provide legal solutions that make a real difference.
Steve Berry, Chairman of Acuity Law, commented: “Our move to 3 Callaghan Square is a clear, visible sign of how far this firm has come, and the scale of our ambition for what comes next. We’ve built a different kind of law firm, one that combines outstanding legal expertise with the commercial, agile and entrepreneurial approach our clients expect and deserve. In a world being reshaped by technology and AI, we’re continuing to challenge the traditional ways legal services are delivered. That’s helping us win new clients, attract great people and compete on a national stage.”
Gareth Baker, Senior Partner, added: “We also see real opportunity ahead: in energy, as investment in infrastructure and the transition to a lower carbon economy continues at pace; in banking and finance, as businesses navigate a changing funding and investment landscape; and in health and social care, where providers and investors are adapting to major regulatory change. In each of these markets, our job is the same: to provide commercial solutions that support and protect our clients’ businesses and help them succeed. The new all electric office space delivered by Rightacres provides us with a great base for our staff and clients and is well connected with our other Acuity offices”.
Acuity has built a strong reputation for doing things differently, developing innovative ways to support businesses beyond traditional legal advice. It has a range of innovative legal solutions including its Acuity Academy service, which provides practical legal training delivered by expert lawyers. The firm is seeing a growing demand for its outsourced counsel service through which clients have access to their own dedicated team of legal experts with the ability to manage legal budgets and control costs.
Acuity continues to attract senior and experienced lawyers, as it offers a professional platform for partners to join as employees or consultants. In both cases, partners are fully supported and have access to market leading technology, including bespoke legal AI tools. A key driver for future growth and success is the attraction to parters at traditional firms to move to Acuity to enjoy a flexible role within a collaborative and full-service commercial law firm.
The move continues a period of real momentum for the firm. Acuity was recently named Property Law Firm of the Year at the Insider Wales Property Awards, and in the past 12 months has advised on corporate transactions having a value of in excess of 750 million pounds and most recently on the high profile sale of Hereford based Global RadioData Communications Ltd (GRC) to Marlink, a global communications company.
The firm’s national footprint continues to grow too, with offices now in Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea, London and Liverpool, working in close partnership with clients across the UK and beyond.
