Melbourne based Aitken Partners has announced its first office move in 37 years.

As of next Monday, the firm will relocate to Level 28, 140 William Street in a move that managing partner Andrew Blogg says will provide more benefits than new desks.

“We started out at 114 William Street in 1976 with a legal staff of 11 on part of one floor; we leave with nearly 35 legal staff over most of two floors,” he said, adding that the move presented the opportunity to review the firm’s technology. “We decided to improve our business by upgrading to the latest platforms, pushing further into electronic storage and archiving, all of which leads to more efficient delivery of service for our clients’ benefit. In this process, we have upgraded our IT infrastructure to adopt the most up-to-date core software and cloud-based technology. Our telephony is state of the art, as is our printing and scanning technology, which will cut printing waste.”

“Hopefully we have ‘future proofed’ as much as possible with the infrastructure which will benefit both the firm and our clients moving forward.”
