Loch Associates Group expands into East Sussex, opening an office in Eastbourne

The Group already had offices in Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and London before expanding to Eastbourne as a result of continued growth in the region. It has seen its turnover and headcount double in just three years.

The rapid expansion is a direct result of Loch Associates Group being the only business in the Sussex area to offer such a range of multiple services under one roof, including HR, Legal, Training and Wellbeing and Mediation, to help organisations manage their staff while protecting their business.

Loch Law has appointed Victoria Regan as a Partner, and she will head up the team in the South Coast. She brings with her more than 20 years of employment law experience and she was previously a partner at another Sussex-based firm, where she was head of their Employment Department and managed their team of HR Consultants. Loch Associates also welcomes Ella Lewthwaite, who will be joining Victoria as a Paralegal at the Eastbourne office.

The Eastbourne office, located opposite Eastbourne Marina, can cater for around 10 employees. Loch Associates Group is looking to support the local community by adding additional local staff as it pursues its ambitious growth plans.

Pam Loch, Solicitor and Managing Director of Loch Associates Group, said: “Over the years we have evolved Loch Associates Group to be a multi-disciplinary business with a wealth of expertise in helping organisations to manage and nurture their people and protect their business. The new office really helps Loch Associates Group cement its position in Sussex, where we are witnessing continued growth.”

Regarding Loch Law’s new Partner, Pam said: “Victoria is a leading individual in employment law and HR and her expertise and experience will ensure we are providing the best service to our clients as we continue to offer an extensive range of solutions to meet our clients’ needs.

“Our continued expansion is largely enabled by our growing reputation as a trusted alternative to traditional law firms and being able to offer such a wide range of services to businesses under one roof, something that is unique in the Southeast.”
