Eversheds Sutherland takes possession of Paradise office

Global law firm Eversheds Sutherland will move 500 staff into Three Chamberlain Square in Birmingham next summer, having started work on a fit out programme this week.

The firm officially took possession of its new Birmingham home around four months after announcing completion of a 15-year lease for two floors of the landmark office building.

Eversheds will move from its current home on Colmore Row into more than 40,000 sq ft of office space, 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.

Emma King, Eversheds Sutherland’s Birmingham Senior Office Partner, said: “Taking possession of our new premises at Three Chamberlain Square is a genuinely exciting moment for us. Birmingham has been at the heart of our story for more than a century, and this move reflects our confidence in the city and our ambition for the future here.

“We are creating a space that brings our people together, supports flexible ways of working and offers clients a welcome that reflects who we are as a firm. It also aligns with our sustainability commitments and will be a workplace our people can be proud of.

“The countdown to 2027 starts now, and we’re looking forward to bringing our Birmingham team into an exceptional new environment in the centre of one of the UK’s most dynamic business communities.”

Ross Fittall, Commercial Development Director at Paradise developer and asset-manager MEPC, the specialist development arm of Federated Hermes, said: “This marks an important milestone for Three Chamberlain Square and Paradise as we hand over the final two floors of office space to Eversheds Sutherland to create a highly sustainable and engaging workplace as part of its ongoing local and global investment in its people and clients.

“At Paradise and Three Chamberlain Square, it will benefit from a world-class destination in the heart of the city, where like-minded organisations come together within a thriving business ecosystem, complemented by outstanding connectivity and amenities on the doorstep.”
