Coffin Mew, a leading southern law firm, has moved to larger premises in Brighton after three successful years of growth. 

 

Since the firm merged with Charles Lucas & Marshall a year ago, they have enjoyed more than 30% growth in their turnover.

 

Coffin Mews opened its Brighton operation in 2015 to provide legal services to businesses and individuals in the region. Since then, the Brighton team has tripled in number and grown its list of clients.

 

The company’s new office, which is planned to be one of their new flagship locations, will be located on Prince Albert Street. The premises span four stories. 

 

The firm’s other offices include London, Southampton, Gosport, Newbury, Swindon and Wantage.

 

The Bristol team is headed by three senior Coffin Mew figures: Nick Leavey (chairman and partner – head of commercial property), Mark O’Halloran (partner – head of commercial services) and Mark James (partner – dispute resolution).

 

"Our Brighton operation has performed strongly over the last three years and is fully integrated into the city’s booming business community," said Nick Leavey.

 

"It now accommodates the breadth of Coffin Mew’s industry sectors, from property and commercial to employment and family law, and is indicative of our drive to become a £20m law firm by 2020."

Moving into a larger building is a time to congratulate yourself for your success, but it is also the time, particularly if you are expanding your staff roster, to double-check that your existing systems can handle the increase. 

 

Since it’s what we’re good at, we’ll talk about your time and attendance management system – the way that you record employee attendance and hours. Obviously this kind of a system is useful in waged roles, and if your premises is production or retail based, you likely already have some kind of system to measure these factors. 

 

However, we believe passionately that time and attendance system have their place in an office environment too. You might not need to know office staff’s hours to the minute, but our software and colourful graphical displays make it easy to record when they are late or ill, and to spot if there are any concerning patterns in their absences. 

 

The Win.TA software also sends you useful alerts, such as if your team are exceptionally busy and risk breaching the European Working Time Regulations. 

 

We can also provide you with our user-friendly Self Service Module (SSM). This web-based or mobile app allows employees to clock themselves in and out, request holiday, amend missing clock-ins and manage their personal details. Managers can approve or deny holiday, clocking amendments, and view an overview of their team’s clock-ins or absences. (Lists not exhaustive.)
