Town Crier Gordon Trinder hails the official launch of Lodders Solicitors’ new premises in Henley-in-Arden as High Bailiff John Tristram cuts the ribbon, watched by (left to right) associate Gill Coombs, partner Martin Green and senior partner David Lodder.
Lodders Solicitors is celebrating 225 years in Henley-in-Arden and has marked the milestone with a move to more accessible premises in the town, 16 High Street, heralding a major push to develop the law firm’s presence in north west Warwickshire, offering Solihull, Knowle and Dorridge residents an alternative to the trek into Birmingham city centre.
Partner Alastair Frew said: “Henley-in-Arden is one of our key centres of operation – it is very important to us .This move will improve facilities for staff and clients alike.”
The office, which is headed up by Ms Coombs, who specialises in wills and the administration of estates, offers the full range of legal services available in the firm’s other offices in Stratford-upon-Avon and Cirencester, but it has a particular focus on community care, especially for the elderly, through solicitor Emma Vaqueiro who is based there.
Legal executive Dorothy O’Brien also works from Henley specialising in residential conveyancing.
