Fizz and canapés welcomed guests to the launch of the new Bridge Law Solicitors office in Marple Bridge.

Claire Stewart, director of the firm, welcomed clients, barristers and judges to the event, who got the chance to admire the newly refurbished office and raised a glass to the success of the firm.

Bridge Law Solicitors are experienced in dealing with general litigation, property, family, employment and immigration disputes. Solicitor Sophie Murgatroyd has also recently opened an Equine Law department, which has been welcomed by the equine community.

Attendees included His Honour Judge Graeme Smith, councillor Geoff Abell and barrister, Luke Menary, who said: ‘Attending the opening of Bridge Law Solicitors was an absolute delight and I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the occasion with them. Having worked with them in previous cases, I know they have a wealth of talent and really are something special.’
