rradar today announced the opening of its Birmingham office, situated in the prestigious Somerset House building at 37 Temple Street in the heart of the city centre.

This is rradar’s fourth office in the UK and is a crucial part of the firm’s strategic expansion plan, following significant growth in recent years. rradar’s other offices are in Hull, Leeds and Glasgow.

The firm’s teams provide quality advice and skilful representation to a diverse commercial client base across all industry sectors, ranging from small owner-managed businesses to large multi-national corporates. Pioneers in reframing the delivery of legal services, rradar uses legal expertise and ground-breaking digital tools to proactively manage, educate, and advise clients, reducing their legal risk.

“We have hired a team of incredibly talented and smart people who bring their expertise and dedication to support our vision to modernise the legal industry, transforming what we can do and how we can do it. We offer a technology-driven, preventative strategy and solutions that make the law more accessible and affordable for our clients” said Gary.
