Grant Stephens Family Law is opening an office in Swansea as it looks to continue its growth in south west Wales.
The firm says it has chosen to open the waterfront office “due to expansion in both clients, turnover, and headcount”.
It will be headed up by director Nia Thomas alongside existing employees from the firm’s Cardiff base including family lawyer Lowri Walters and trainee solicitor James Jones. The team plans to grow the office this year.
Nia Thomas, director and head of the Swansea office, said: “Since we opened in 2013, we’ve grown year-on-year in headcount and enquiries, with many of our clients coming from the south west Wales area. This is why expanding into Swansea was the next logical step for the firm.
“Over the last year of working at Grant Stephens Family Law, there’s been a lot of positive change at the firm, and I’ve been working alongside some of the most incredible talent in the legal industry.
“Being from South West Wales myself, and having worked in firms in Swansea previously, I’m excited to spearhead this new phase of growth at the firm with the objective of getting the best results for our clients continuing to be at the heart of everything we do.”
The business now has 15 members of staff across its bases in the J Shed Arcade in Swansea and at Park Place in central Cardiff.
Grant Stephens, founder and managing director, said: “It’s very cliched, but I am immensely proud of everyone at the firm and the work that has gone into the company to help grow it to the size that it is.
“Expanding to a second office has been on my radar for a while, and opening in Wales’ second biggest city made the most sense based on our client roster and the team’s best connections, professionally and personally.
“Since Nia began with us, she has shown nothing but true dedication, serious expertise, and great leadership skills, making her a truly great asset to run the new Swansea office.”
