Harrison Clark Rickerbys to move to Reading town centre

Law firm Harrison Clark Rickerbys is to move from Green Park to Reading town centre.

The firm, which opened in Brook Drive in 2012 and later relocated to 100 Longwater Avenue, is to move to Aquis House in Blagrave Street in March to allow for its growth.

The fast-expanding firm has 20 staff and seeks to grow further.

Head of office Heath Thomas said: “We have seen exceptional growth at the Thames Valley office and we want to ensure that continues – this move gives us further scope to increase the size of our teams and expand the range of specialist services that we offer.

“We want to be right at the heart of things as Reading continues its development and to contribute to its success.

“When we first opened an office in the area, it was very real estate focused, but we have since broadened our services, so that now we have a very strong corporate team based here, along with international specialists and, most recently, an expanding private client team, with John Banky bringing years of local experience to the team.”

Partner Claire Leyshon will become the new head of real estate for the team.
