Designed by Incognito and delivered by Flexible Business Interiors, the newly transformed space reflects our commitment to our clients, people and the wider Liverpool community.
The new office includes departmental ‘neighbourhoods’ designed to encourage collaboration and facilitate agile working practices while paying homage to Liverpool’s rich maritime history through bespoke design features.
Completed with sustainability in mind — incorporating energy provisions, upcycled materials and high air quality performance — the new space is reflective of our position as one of the first law firms in the UK to become B Corp-certified.
To help minimise waste and ensure the maximum benefit to the local community, we've also donated furniture from our former fitout to local charities — including social regeneration charity Rotunda and Liverpool Homeless Football Club — while previous artwork has been auctioned to raise funds for The Brabners Foundation, our independent grant-making charity. All other furniture items were recycled or repurposed.
The move represents the final step in our office overhaul following significant investment into our Manchester, Leeds and Lancashire spaces. This has been underpinned by a strong period of growth during which we've achieved record revenue figures and continued to expand our national and international client base.
Founded in Liverpool in 1815, we remain deeply embedded in the city’s growth strategy and support for local communities. We continue to play a central role in the regeneration of Liverpool’s waterfront, including advising on the development of Everton FC’s new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, due to open later this year. We're also sponsoring the World Boxing Championships — set to take place in the city this September — as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting local initiatives and championing the city on the global stage.
Through The Brabners Foundation, we continue to provide critical support to a range of Liverpool-based charities and grassroots organisations.
We're also continuing to grow the True North network, which now comprises more than 450 purpose-led organisations and business leaders from across Liverpool and the wider North. True North was established by Brabners to unite the region’s most influential, purpose-driven voices and to shape and unlock its true economic potential.
Managing Partner Nik White said: "Liverpool has been Brabners’ home for more than 200 years and the city’s distinctive ethos — a unique blend of innovation, creativity and community — remains at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to invest in our office base across the North, we’re pleased to have retained the heritage of our long-standing home in the city while creating an inspiring new space for our talented team to collaborate and welcome clients.
In particular, it reflects our ambition to act as a force for good — creating not only a sustainable space but one that will help us to champion Liverpool and have a lasting impact in the communities we serve.”
Howard Powsney, Director at Incognito, said: "From day one, this project was about much more than maximising space — it was about supporting Brabners’ values, culture and people. The Liverpool office reflects a firm that’s forward-thinking, grounded in its community and ready for the future of work. Every design decision was made with purpose, from the layout and functionality down to the finishes and heritage-inspired theme.
It’s also important to recognise how instrumental the Brabners facilities management team have been throughout this process. Their insight, openness to collaboration and attention to detail played a vital role in helping us to bring this vision to life."
Dave Barton, Project Manager at Flexible Business Interiors, added: "This was a highly technical build, delivered within a live environment and across complex existing infrastructure. Our role was to make the design vision a reality while ensuring minimal disruption to the business. We’re proud to have helped Brabners create a workplace that truly supports its people."
