The new office follows a successful period of growth for the law firm, which now employs 45 members of staff. Its team of legal professionals provide legal support for its clients across all aspects of their lives, including advising on wills, probate and inheritance planning, as well as dispute resolution, family and divorce, and property law advice.
Nicola Poole, Managing Director of Hedges, said: “We’re delighted to announce the opening of our new Summertown office on Banbury Road. While we have had a presence in Summertown for nearly 12-months now, the new location will give us greater visibility and be closer to other local businesses we work closely with on the parade. We are carefully designing our new space to ensure it is a beautiful and relaxed environment at the heart of the community so our clients can pop in and enjoy a coffee with our team.”
Summertown is a vibrant hub for Oxfordshire businesses, with a number of specialist professional services located in the area, including accountant firms and estate agents.
Hedges’ is a top-rated law firm for its property work and was recently highly commended at the national British Conveyancing Awards for its innovative use of technology in its customer service.
“We’re really proud of the reputation that the property and conveyancing team has built over the last few years. The recognition received at the awards in March highlighted that we, as a team, are developing our service offering in the best ways,” added Nicola. “We've been delivering legal services across Oxfordshire for almost a quarter of a century and this latest chapter feels right for us - it is the perfect location for us and our clients.”
Hedges will be holding an event in September to celebrate the opening of the new office.
