Law firm mfg Solicitors is expanding its presence in the Black Country by moving to a larger office at Custom House in Brierley Hill’s Waterfront development. This move is in response to increased demand for their services and signifies their commitment to the local business community. The firm, which employs over 260 people across seven offices, plans further recruitment and has been recognised as a finalist in the Professional Service Business of the Year category at the 2026 Black Country Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

Law firm mfg Solicitors has strengthened its commitment to the Black Country with confirmation it will open a new, larger office at Custom House in Brierley Hill’s Waterfront development.   The move follows the success of mfg’s initial investment at The Waterfront just 12 months ago, which has helped drive significant growth in the firm’s Black Country client base. The move to larger offices also reflects the increase in demand for the firm’s services and underlines its long-term commitment to the area’s business community.   The Black Country team is led by three respected partners, employment expert Tim Lang, real estate specialist Sarah Bradford, and corporate solicitor Philip Chapman.   Tim Lang said: “The response from our Black Country clients and the wider business community has been outstanding over the past year. Our move to Custom House is a clear statement of intent and demonstrates our confidence in the region’s future.   “We’ve built strong relationships across the Black Country and are proud to be supporting ambitious businesses and individuals. More than anything, the new office will provide an excellent platform for further expansion and investment in both our people and our services.”   The firm now employs more than 260 people across seven offices and has seen significant growth in recent years, while continuing to invest heavily in technology, innovation and talent development.   Further recruitment announcements are expected in the coming months as the firm continues to expand its Black Country offering and attract more talent to The Waterfront.   The announcement of the firm’s expansion in Brierley Hill comes as it has also been shortlisted as a finalist in the Professional Service Business of the Year category at the 2026 Black Country Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.   mfg Solicitors has offices in Worcester, Birmingham, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, the Black Country, Ludlow and Telford.
