New office in Bourne and a growing team mark our 50th year

2024 so far has been an exciting year for Hegarty. Not only has our 50th year seen us carrying out 50 community and charity initiatives, but it has also seen us continue on our journey of growth. 

With a new office opening in Bourne later this year, taking over the space that used to be Barclays Bank on the main street in the town, this will allow us to offer our legal services to more local people, whilst staying true to our local firm ethos by being in the heart of the local community.

Following the opening of our 4th office in Market Deeping last year, the opening of an office in Bourne will take us to 5 offices in the local area, a great milestone to mark our 50th year. 

Along the same path of growth, our team has also continued to expand in recent months. We spoke to a few of them about their time with us so far:
