Firm marks 15 years in South Wales with the launch of Bridgend office

Thomas and Thomas Solicitors, a leading law firm in South Wales, has opened a new office in Bridgend after celebrating 15 years of providing legal services to individuals, families and businesses in the region and beyond.  

The firm first opened its doors in 2008 with its first office in Maesteg followed by premises in Port Talbot. Having had a presence in Bridgend for over five years, the solicitors has relocated into larger premises in Dunraven Place in the town centre to accommodate its rapidly expanding workforce and client base.  

Now with a 32-strong team across three offices, and solicitors who specialise in their specific area of law, the firm covers a wide variety of legal matters including conveyancing, wills, LPAs, Court of Protection applications, inheritance tax advice, civil litigation and disputes, and elderly care advice.  

Commenting on the new office, Melissa Thomas (pictured), managing director and solicitor at Thomas and Thomas Solicitors said: 'We’re delighted to open our new office in Dunraven Place in Bridgend so we can continue to serve the legal needs of the local community. The new office is conveniently located in the heart of the town, offering a warm and welcoming reception area and spacious surroundings. It’s a great space for our clients while also providing a positive working environment for our growing team.'

The Bridgend office is headed up by Laura Matthews, director and chartered legal executive lawyer. Thanks to its central location, wheelchair access and dog-friendly environment, the new office is more accessible for clients while remaining nearby other convenient services such as estate agents and banks. 

'It’s been a very exciting 15 years and we can’t wait to see what the future holds,' Melissa continued. 'We first opened the firm in 2008 with just two directors and two admin staff in Maesteg. Since then, we’ve continued to grow at pace with more and more people and businesses in South Wales and beyond, turning to us for legal support. One of the main reasons for this is because of our forward-thinking approach, embracing technology in a way that makes legal services more accessible to clients, when they need it most. This also empowers our team with the tools to deliver a reassuringly reliable service, communicated in plain English and without legal jargon, to build last client relationships based on trust and respect.'

Providing a convenient and efficient legal service has always been core to Thomas and Thomas Solicitors’ mission, a firm embracing a digital approach such as offering online conveyancing quotes and online identity verification as well as in-person appointments.
