Blackmont Legal, a Manchester-based law firm that launched last year as a fully virtual practice, has opened its first physical office in the city.

The firm has taken space at 1 Balloon Street, the former Co-operative Group headquarters, giving its team a base while continuing to operate mainly remote.

The business says the office is about having a hub for collaboration and city-centre presence, not rolling back its remote-first model, and signals a long-term commitment to Manchester and the wider North West.
