Chronicle Live reports law firm Norton Rose Fulbright is to create more than 100 new jobs with the launch of a legal process hub on Newcastle Quayside following a year-long pilot in the city.

The paper added that the hub has grown from an initial team of four, based in serviced Regus offices, to employing a 28-strong team of lawyers, non-lawyers, paralegals, legal technologists and process designers.

That workforce is now set to grow further to around 100 over the next two to three years, following the firm’s move into a permanent office in early November.
