New legal services venture secures Liverpool base
A new legal services venture, Pure Legal Costs Consultants, has secured a new Liverpool location.
Phil Hodgkinson, the former owner of Compass Costs Consultants, has taken a two-year lease on a 4,000 sq ft office unit at Unit 8 Tiger Court in Kings Business Park.
Launched by Hodgkinson in April 2015, Pure Legal Costs Consultants provides legal services to the sector both directly as well as through business partners and affiliates.
Compass Costs Consultants, the legal costs consultancy and costs drafting firm that Hodgkinson formerly owned, was sold to listed investor Quindell Portfolio for £14m in 2013.
The new letting signifies a return for Hodgkinson to his roots, having previously worked out of Tiger Court when he originally set up Compass Costs Consultants.
Associate director at CBRE’s Liverpool office, Neil Kirkham, said:
“We are delighted to secure the letting of Unit 8 Tiger Court to Pure Legal Costs Consultants, enabling Phil Hodgkinson to return to his original office premises.
“Located in a strategic position adjacent to the M57, Kings Business Park provides an excellent platform on which to grow this new, innovative business.”
Phil Hodgkinson, owner of Pure Legal Costs Consultants, added:
“Kings Business Park was always a very happy and successful business home and I am delighted to be returning to where it all began with the launch of my new business. Following this move we will be looking at further expansion in the near future.”
Acting on behalf of Carleton Estates, CBRE’s Liverpool office secured the letting.
