Case study: Navigating the move to a bigger office space

  • by BG Private

A Melbourne-based law firm had been a client of BG Private for 15 years, and had been in the same offices since inception. However, over the past three years the business had grown rapidly and no longer had enough office space to accommodate the increasing number of staff.

They were anxious about the time and cost associated with moving and continued to put the decision off – all the while impacting staff productivity and morale due to the lack of space.

How we helped

The firm turned to BG Private’s Property Advisory division who helped with locating and negotiating a new premises as their Tenant Advisor.

We:

  • Worked to understand the location, size and timing requirements associated with a prospective move. This included finding a location that was convenient for the client base and factored in future staff growth plans, whilst taking into account the optimal time to move to reduce any disruptions
  • Worked with our extensive database of real estate connections to seek out options which would be suitable for the firm – factoring in criteria such as parking, staff amenities, number of meeting rooms etc
  • Presented all the options and then facilitated negotiations on the client’s behalf with the prospective landlords
  • Advised on key financial outcomes of any deal structure (e.g. term, options, rent free, rental increases etc.)
  • Assisted with coordinating the relevant consultants
