Stevens & Bolton Solicitors has reopened its Guildford headquarters following renovations to improve sustainability and employee experience.

Completion of the works coincides with the firm’s twelfth consecutive year of growth, during which it has made five lateral partner hires, two partner promotions, 26 new associate appointments and 19 managing associate and senior associate promotions.

In partnership with interior design and build experts Denton and sustainability consultancy Verte, Stevens & Bolton has ensured that the refurbished offices at Wey House are on track to achieve a RICS SKA silver environmental assessment and high Fitwel rating for employee well-being.

The new building is optimised for energy efficiency, with full LED lighting, a low-energy heating and cooling system and over 900 plants around the site. It also offers staff a dedicated wellness space for time out, religious practice, breast-feeding or pastoral support.

James Waddell, Managing Partner at Stevens & Bolton, said: “The transformation of Wey House reflects our desire to provide our talented team with an inspiring, modern working environment which embraces flexibility. It reflects our commitment to quality and our confidence in our firm.

“Every decision has had sustainability and our people at front of mind and we are delighted to be reopening our doors to the team. Our new office space will provide a great platform from which to achieve our goals.”
