Expanding in Keynsham

We are moving into bigger premises in Keynsham to expand the services we offer to the town and the surrounding area. After opening a small office in Keynsham in 2011 we have seen huge demand for our services, and are pleased to announce that we shall be moving into larger and more convenient offices, at 64 High Street, Keynsham.

The new office will be open from 8^th April.  We shall be welcoming new staff member Gwyn Pritchard, to our Private Client department. Gwyn will join Partner Ben Whelan (Head of our Litigation Department) and Conveyancer Jayne Wells who are already based at the Keynsham office.

Marion Fisher of our family department will be in Keynsham each Wednesday morning and appointments can be made if you need advice about divorce or other family issues, at other times if necessary.

Partner Ben Whelan explains “We already offer the full range of our legal services from the Keynsham office, but the new premises will allow us to have more staff here full time, and to provide quicker service and easier access for our local clients”

We shall of course continue to support our local community in Keynsham. Over the past year this has seen us providing sponsorship for Keynsham in Bloom and for the Winter Festival.

Until 8^th April, we can still be found at our current location – 60a High Street, and both before and after the move can be contacted via our website or by e-mail at Keynsham@fdc-law.co.uk
