Wards Solicitors to open additional city centre, Bristol office

Wards Solicitors', first established in Bristol more than 100 year ago, is to open a new office in the heart of the city as it continues to expand its provision of legal services.

The large, open plan office on High Street is a stone's throw from Wards Solicitors' central city offices in Broad Street and Small Street. It will be ready this autumn and incorporates the ground floor and basement of a former bank.

A full refurbishment programme will concentrate on making the new office space welcoming and functional for clients with a number of new meeting rooms.

David Sheridan, Managing Partner of Wards Solicitors, said: "We are delighted to have found an office in such an ideal, central location and so close to our other Bristol city centre bases. It will provide us with much needed space and enable us to extend our provision at what is a very exciting time for us."

Wards Solicitors now employs 77 legal specialists in 11 locations - Bristol, Bradley Stoke, Clevedon, Keynsham, Nailsea, Portishead, Staple Hill, Weston-super-Mare, Worle, Yate and Henleaze. Each office offers an extensive range of services for both local businesses and individuals.
