ONE of Somerset's oldest law firms is expanding and moving across Taunton.

Risdon Hosegood, which has been providing legal advice for more than 200 years, has just moved into new offices at the top of Taunton’s High Street.

Partner Edward Judge said: “The new base at Mendip House is needed to accommodate new staff, is more modern and is better placed for our clients in the town centre.”

The firm has also announced the arrival of conveyancing specialist Caroline Bennett.
