Mills Oakley has become the latest in a string of firms to announce a move to new premises. The firm will vacate its current Melbourne CBD offices in William St and relocate to new digs at 530 Collins St. Mills Oakley CEO John Nerurker told ALB that the firm had outgrown its old offices and needed more up-to-date facilities for clients.

Nerurker says that Mills Oakley was able to secure premium premises on favourable terms. "Rumour has it in the profession we have secured particularly good lease terms by signing at the worst possible time," he said.

Other firms who have also made the move in recent months include Cooper Grace Ward in Brisbane.  Other firms, such as AAR in Melbourne and Clayton Utz and Freehills in Sydney, have also flagged their intention to move.

Meanwhile, Mills Oakley will be adopting a fresh image in more ways than one, having adopted a new corporate logo which CEO Nerurker says will give the firm a sharper new look.
