Tees Law opening new office at Hyde Hall Farm in Buntingford

A Bishop’s Stortford-based legal and wealth management firm has expanded its operation by opening a new office in Buntingford.

Tees Law, incorporating Tees Financial Services, is bringing in additional legal and financial services professionals to work at the premises, which is near the NFU headquarters at Hyde Hall Farm.

The new office is a significant upgrade from the smaller high-street facility in Royston, which will close on Friday March 14.

Tees expects to welcome clients to the new office from April and all client communications will continue to be processed through its central administrative function at its Stortford office in London Road.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients while

maintaining the high standards of service that Tees is known for,” said Tees group managing director Ashton Hunt.

“Our new office represents an investment in both our team and the communities we serve.”

Meanwhile, Alex Waples has been promoted to partner within the commercial and agricultural property team, with effect from April 1.

He has been with the firm for 10 years having joined in 2015 and, during that time, has shown exceptional legal skills and an unwavering dedication to client success, particularly for agricultural landowning clients, including individuals, partnerships, corporate entities as well as landed estates.

Waples, who is based in the Cambridge office, is also a key part of the firm’s renewable energy team and has led the team to great success with some noteworthy accolades.

He specialises in sales and acquisitions of farms and agricultural land, acting for both landowners and developers on renewable energy transactions, acting mainly for landowners on strategic land development schemes and advising on farming partnership agreements.
