The grand opening of the Jolliffes’ new offices in Chester was marked by an auspicious warm red glow that lit up the historic building in the heart of the city. Jolliffe & Co LLP opened its doors for business 150 years ago and on Thursday 25 February over 250 guests joined the partners and staff on the red carpet to celebrate the legal firm’s sesquicentennial.
Simon Williams, Partner and Head of Corporate and Commercial for Jolliffe & Co LLP said;
“We are delighted so many clients, colleagues and friends joined us in celebrating the grand opening of our new office.
