A legal firm which has been in Norfolk for almost 200 years is opening its first location on the Norwich outskirts.

Lucas and Wyllys Solicitors, which has offices in Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, has taken over office space at Blofield Business Centre, just east of the city.

Office manager Robert Kemp said it marked a significant milestone for the business.

He said: “The new office is strategically positioned to serve the growing needs of businesses and individuals in the east Norwich area, contributing to our overarching goal of fostering legal support and expertise within the region.

“The team is so excited about our new home.”

The firm said the new office would not affect its other locations, with all three open for business as of next month, and that it would look to expand its team of 22 as it builds its new customer-base. 

Managing partner Amy Church added: “This expansion is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and it reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving legal needs of our community.”
