Manchester’s surging prominence and prosperity have been further highlighted since the accession of Andy Burnham to Number 10. Nowhere typifies this swagger more than JMW Solicitors, a business which prides itself on its Mancunian roots.

The firm moved into its new office at 125 Deansgate this summer and staff have enthusiastically embraced the custom-fitted layout.

Bringing all employees under one roof, the building features all the latest mod-cons (the coffee machine is particularly snazzy) and an impressive spiral staircase going through the centre.

But perhaps the swishest touch is the private roof terrace on the 10^th floor, which offers unparalleled views of the historic John Rylands Library in the foreground and Manchester’s Crown Street crown court and civil justice centre in the background.

The terrace features a futuristic-looking and highly sought-after pod, which serves as a meeting space (and a break from the elements) with perhaps the best views of any workspace in the city. The JMW legal eagles have themselves an impressive nest.
