Information about the Diss office closure
The Diss office (St Nicholas House, 3 St Nicholas Street, Diss, IP22 4LB) closed in December 2023.
Our staff have relocated to other offices, including Norwich and Bury St Edmunds, and have retained their direct phone numbers and email addresses. Any active legal matters will continue to be managed by the same team, and current and past clients have been informed of the office closure.
This change will not impact how we deliver our legal services, or how we store legal documents which are kept in our secure storage facility, located at our head office at The Long Barn, Fornham Business Court, The Drift, Fornham St Martin, Bury St Edmunds, IP31 1SL. This is also the address for all client communications.
Anyone wishing to speak to a member of Ashtons’ staff about the Diss office closure should call our dedicated phone line on 0330 191 4574.
