Pannone Corporate has strengthened ties within its Manchester heartland, after announcing a new partnership with Factory International – the organisation behind Manchester’s iconic cultural landmark, Aviva Studios.

The Manchester law firm, which has strong roots in the city region, has become an associate supporter of Factory International, an existing client of the firm.

Paul Jonson, senior partner at Pannone Corporate, commented: “As a Manchester law firm, we are fiercely proud of our roots and committed to investing back into the regional ecosystem to help it thrive and grow.

“At its heart, Factory International is built on the same ethos – a partnership that is and will continue to have a positive impact on the local economy through Aviva Studios, driving job creation and fostering opportunities for all ages and backgrounds. Factory International was a natural partner for us and we’re excited about the relationship.”

Aviva became Factory International’s Principal Partner in June 2023, launching a long-term collaboration that includes naming rights for Aviva Studios, its landmark arts venue and permanent home for Factory International.

Pannone was appointed by Aviva Studios to provide legal support to the cultural venue in 2024. This latest partnership builds on that growing relationship, cementing its relationship with an important and influential regional brand.
