The new office will provide a full range of legal services , including Conveyancing , Commercial , Employment , Family Law and Private Client services to the local community throughout Swindon and the surrounding areas .
Tim Hotchkiss , Partner and Member of ABD ’ s Management Board , who have overseen the completion of the lease , said , “ Geographic expansion is one of the firm ’ s key strategic objectives . Whilst we already offer our services remotely , through video calls , over the telephone and via email , we understand that being able to access your lawyer in person , in an easily accessible , Covid-19 secure environment , is still highly valued by our clients .
