3PB Barristers Expands Operations with New Manchester Office
1st July 2025
3PB Barristers (3 Paper Buildings), a national set of barristers with 270 members, today (1 July 2025) announced the opening of its new office in Manchester, marking a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion across the UK. The new facility, located at 11 York Street, will serve as a regional hub for operations in the North West.
The Manchester office represents 3PB's commitment to strengthening its presence in key UK markets and bringing its services closer to clients throughout the region. The centre will support chamber’s growing client base in Manchester and surrounding areas.
"Opening our Manchester office represents an exciting new chapter for 3PB Barristers," said CEO Simon Astill. "Manchester's vibrant business ecosystem, talented workforce, and strategic location make it an ideal base for our continued growth in the North West. This expansion reflects our confidence in the regional market and our commitment to providing exceptional service to our clients."
Manchester's selection as the location for this expansion was driven by several key factors, including the city's strong professional services community, long-established legal sector, busy courts, excellent transport links, access to skilled talent from local law schools, and its position as a major business hub in the North West. The city's thriving technology sector and business-friendly environment align perfectly with the set’s growth objectives.
The Manchester office will offer the full range of 3PB Barrister’s services, including advice and advocacy across a wide range of civil, private, public and regulatory areas of legal expertise. Local clients will benefit from dedicated account management from the practice management team, faster response times, and personalised service delivery tailored to regional needs.
The company plans to engage actively with the local business community through partnerships with Manchester-based organisations, sponsorship of local events, and participation in regional business networks.
"This opening is just the beginning of our journey in Manchester," added Head of Chambers Elizabeth McGrath KC. "We look forward to building lasting relationships with local clients, partners, and the broader community while contributing to the city's continued growth and success."
