Smith Partnership, a regional law firm headquartered in the East Midlands, has expanded its footprint by opening a new office in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. The move forms part of the firm’s wider growth strategy aimed at strengthening its presence across Staffordshire.
The new location occupies the former headquarters of The Sentinel newspaper in Alexander House, a site with historic significance that became vacant when the publication transitioned to remote operations in 2021.
Smith Partnership already maintains offices in Derby, Leicester, Swadlincote, and Burton upon Trent, offering a full suite of legal services. These range from family and criminal law to commercial legal support, personal injury, employment law, and conveyancing. The Hanley office will provide access to the firm’s full range of legal expertise for both private and commercial clients.
This expansion reflects the firm’s continued investment in central, high-visibility locations to enhance accessibility for businesses and individuals in key urban areas.
