Ashtons Legal relocates in Felixstowe

Posted 14/04/2014

Ashtons Legal Solicitors will shortly be moving to more modern premises with client parking and full disabled access in York House, York Road, Felixstowe and closing its current office in Hamilton Road.  All telephone numbers and e-mail addresses will remain unchanged.  An exact date for the move has yet to be agreed but is expected to be during June.

The move coincides with current Felixstowe-based legal teams and support staff relocating to the firm’s flagship Waterfront office in Ipswich where lawyers will be able to work more closely together and share valuable resources.

Richard Foyster, who heads the Felixstowe office, says: “This is a very positive move.  It means that we will be able to provide our Felixstowe clients with an even more efficient and effective service, and our new location will be more convenient for many.  We remain totally committed to the town and will continue our involvement with local businesses and communities.  We are able to offer Felixstowe access to our expanding, regional legal teams and clients will still be seen in Felixstowe as before.  It is business as usual.”

The firm’s CEO is Edward O’Rourke.  He adds: “Law firms which want to continue to be successful need to put their clients at the heart of everything they do. Our aim is to continue to give our Felixstowe clients the best of both worlds; a lawyer on their doorstep when they need one combined with access to the breadth and depth of expertise which comes with being part of a much larger organisation.  As a 300-strong firm we are able to offer all the usual legal services but with added, nationally recognised, expertise in areas such as Franchising, Medical Injury, French Legal Services and Court of Protection work.”
