ONE of the south's big-name law firms has expanded one of its offices.

Following continued growth across its practice, Eric Robinson Solicitors has doubled the size of its site at the Brownhill Road premises in Chandler's Ford, taking over the office beneath its current space.

The expansion will provide a new specialist area for the company's will and probate team, headed up by senior partner Graham Payne.

The additional space was obtained as part of the firm's continued expansion project.

Specialists in commercial and personal law, Eric Robinson has continued to secure new contracts. To cope with the soaring demand it has increased its numbers of staff, both trainees and senior team members, and consequently was outgrowing the existing property.

Senior partner Graham Payne said: "We pride ourselves on being approachable and having the additional space to offer confidential advice in a relaxed, professional environment is an important element of our service to clients."
