South coast law firm Glanvilles has grown its business in recent years, and has now expanded into Sussex with the addition of a fifth office, in Chichester.


This joins Glanvilles’ established offices in Fareham and Havant in Hampshire and Newport and Ryde on the Isle of Wight.


The new office, at Southgate Place, 41- 42 Southgate, offers the full Glanvilles portfolio of legal services for individuals and families and for business and commercial organisations.


Chief executive Jeremy Weeks is enthusiastic about the firm’s move: “There is a demand for legal services in the city that has coincided with our expansion plans. We think that Chichester and Glanvilles are a perfect fit and that both will benefit from our new office’s services.“


The office is headed by partner Damien Newton, a commercial property specialist who both lives in and knows the area. He said: “We want to make a difference for the businesses based here and for the people who live and work here.“
