Wilkin Chapman LLP – Office Move Project
Project type: Office Move
We were retained in October 2016 by Wilkin Chapman LLP, a large law firm based in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, to provide advice and support for a major office move. The move included the relocation of the firm’s data centre that supported all eight of their locations.
- The IT team required additional advice and support as they had never undertaken an office move.
- The firm’s management wanted confirmation that nothing was being missed.
- As the move was to happen during the Christmas period, time was of the essence.

A review of the firm’s preparations was undertaken based on our office relocation experience.
- All plans and preparations were reviewed.
- Suggestions were made to ensure no critical tasks were missed and to highlight time critical steps.
The office move project succeeded despite being subject to very tight timescales.
- An overview of our general IT observations
- A high-level summary of the firm’s current practice management system usage.
- An IT recommendations paper to be used as guidance for the Chief Executive during a partners meeting.
