Office Relocation Case Study: International Legal Firm Stephenson Harwood
Overview
Delivering a complex IT‑led office relocation for a global law firm with zero disruption to business operations.
Stephenson Harwood is a leading international law firm with over 600 staff operating across Europe and Asia. When the firm decided to relocate its largest global office from St Paul’s to Finsbury Circus in London, careful planning and execution were critical to maintaining business continuity.
The relocation involved moving almost 500 staff alongside their IT systems, while also completing a large‑scale desktop refresh in preparation for a company‑wide Windows 7 rollout. The entire programme needed to be delivered outside of business hours and within a tightly controlled timeframe, with no disruption to fee‑earning activity.
Krome Technologies was engaged as a trusted partner to plan and deliver the relocation. This office relocation case study highlights how Krome worked collaboratively with Stephenson Harwood to execute a highly complex move seamlessly and successfully.
People walked in on Monday morning and everything was there — their computers, paperwork and even their chairs. It was perfect.

As part of this IT office relocation case study, Krome worked closely with Stephenson Harwood to design a detailed relocation and contingency strategy.
Comprehensive site surveys, risk assessments and pre‑planning activities were completed across both locations. A dedicated project manager and specialist engineering teams were assigned to manage desktop refurbishment, re‑imaging and redeployment alongside the physical office move.
The relocation was executed over three consecutive weekends using a phased approach. Devices were upgraded, transported, redeployed and tested so that staff arrived at their desks on Monday mornings to fully operational workstations, with minimal impact on business operations.
