LAW firm Eatons Solicitors has announced the opening of a new office in Ilkley.

The firm, which has had a presence in the town for a couple of years, says that demand has prompted them to take larger offices on Church Street, just opposite the Box Tree Restaurant. This planned expansion builds on the success of the firm’s other offices

across the region currently in Leeds, Bingley, Bradford and Otley.

Liz Williams, the Partner who heads up their Family Law Department and who has lived in the town for many years will be based at the office, said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring our full range of services to Ilkley. We’ve seen an increasingly high demand for advice in conveyancing in an area where property prices have remained buoyant, and for advice on inheritance and Wills where clients are wisely wishing to make sure that they’ve planned for the future. And these are areas in which we have a particular strength”

Graeme Brown, the firm’s Managing Partner added: “Eatons are thrilled about the latest chapter and are looking forward to the office going from strength to strength. We chose to develop Ilkley because, after analysing where our clients are based, we identified that the majority of them are already in this area so we thought we’d make it easier by being on the doorstep. Plus, it’s a lovely place to work next to the Manor House Conservation Area, and the locals are so friendly!"

The firm offers a free initial consultation on all family and dispute matters and their website also offers a free conveyancing fee estimate facility. More details can be found on www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk
