Eversheds 500-strong legal team set for landmark Paradise office
A global law firm will move its Birmingham operations less than a mile across the city centre after taking two floors at MEPC’s Three Chamberlain Square.
Eversheds has taken a 15-year lease on more than 40,000 sq ft of office space, with the company’s 500-strong staff set to join CBRE, EY and Forvis Mazars at the building, which is now fully let just over six months since completion.
The ten-storey, 189,000 sq ft building in Birmingham’s Paradise district – notable for its unusual bright red terracotta facade – was designed by architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine. The building reached practical completion in June 2025.
Ross Fittall, commercial development director at Paradise developer and asset-manager, MEPC, said attracting another major international occupier like Eversheds was a “huge vote of confidence” in the building, and in Paradise.
“This move also proves the appeal of Three Chamberlain Square as the most sustainable commercial building in the city and region,” he said.
“It’s a striking building and interfaces wonderfully with the historic Town Hall and new public realm outside the front door and its design fulfils the aims of organisations looking for a step change in sustainability, amenity and carbon footprint for the benefit of its people. But the building is also a recognisable landmark in the heart of the city that occupiers are proud to call home.”

Eversheds will complete the move from its existing premises in Colmore Row in 2027, becoming the latest firm to relocate across the city, hot on the heels of fellow legal practice TLT and professional services firm Deloitte – who both announced moves into buildings in the Paradise district last year.
Emma King, Eversheds Sutherland’s senior office partner for Birmingham added: “As a global firm that has had a local presence in Birmingham for over a hundred years, we’re immensely proud to be taking a new space in the city for our people and clients.
“It will deliver everything we’re looking for – a net zero carbon future, a flexible and efficient work space to support modern hybrid working, good transport links, and a real destination for our people, clients and visitors.”
