A MARKET Weighton solicitors’ firm has moved to new premises as the practice embarks on a period of expansion.

Wise Solicitors has operated from offices in Becklands Park since 2011, specialising in personal injury work, but has relocated to the town’s Main Street.

The move is the first phase in the firm’s transition from handling only personal injury matters to providing a more rounded legal service that will also include guidance on general legal matters.

The firm’s founder, Simon Wise, said: “These are exciting times for Wise Solicitors. We have built our business and our reputation in the field of personal injury but from April new regulations will result in a change in the way this type of business is conducted.

“It will be a much more open market and that is one of the reasons why Wise Solicitors needs to be on the high street, where we will have a prominent profile.”

He said the firm’s central position would allow clients to pop in.
