Proudly Announcing Our Menai Bridge Office

Posted on 07 Dec 2018

We are pleased to announce that we are continuing our expansion across North Wales by opening our first branch on Anglesey. We have secured the Old Bank Building in Uxbridge Square at Menai Bridge, and we aim to open its doors as one of our solicitors offices in January 2019.

The Old Bank Building as our Anglesey Office offers us a high street presence in North West Wales, as well as being a welcome addition to our existing offices- which employ over 50 staff across North Wales to Cheshire. Our Menai Bridge office will be overseen by our Head of Residential Conveyancing and Director, Michael Tree.

Sara Lloyd Evans, one of our family law experts, Shaun Hughes, one of our private client experts who covers wealth management business succession planning, wills, trusts and probate, and trainee solicitor Ceinwen Cet Jones will be based at Menai Bridge- offering our North West Wales clients a more accessible and a fully bilingual service.

Our Managing Director- Sarah Noton said:

“Menai Bridge is a gateway to the island, but still with easy access to Gwynedd and there is so much going on in this area with Wylfa Newydd, the investment in Coleg Menai, Llangefni, tourism and the growing restaurant scene. Property here is also doing well with North Wales’s most expensive postcode in Marianglas and other hotspots and of course it’s a major farming area too and agriculture is an area where we have specialist expertise.”

“This makes our services more accessible and the response from the clients has been very positive. We also believe it is important to be able to offer a fully bilingual service, especially in this area and to offer real expertise as well so that clients don’t need to look to firms from outside the area for the legal skills they need.”

Sarah also mentioned that:

“We cover just about every aspect of the law and we have experts in most fields across the group which is very important in these increasingly complex times and in Sara and Shaun we have lawyers who know this area very well. The fact we now have offices right across North Wales and in Cheshire means we have strength and depth and a great geographic spread in relation to the area we cover. But at the same time a big part of what we do at Swayne Johnson is about relationships. Clients don’t want faceless people, they want someone who can help and reassure them and that’s what Sara and Shaun bring to their roles.”

“We believe it is important for our customers to be secure in the knowledge they have expert legal help right on their doorstep without having to go to Liverpool, Manchester or further afield.”

We will keep you informed of the progress of the Menai Bridge Office, and we very much look forward to serving our clients in North West Wales in 2019 and beyond.
