Nabarro Nathanson is to shut its Reading office, following a strategic review of the firm.

The firm will relocate all seven partners to London. Relocation has also been offered to all 41 staff based in Reading.

The office, which contributes about 5 per cent of the firm’s total turnover, was launched 17 years ago to target technology clients in the Thames Valley.

However, the firm has found that it requires an increasing range of specialisms to service this client base which, it was decided, could best be handled out of London.
