Slater & Gordon has today (30 November) announced that it will be opening another office in Werribee, Victoria as part of its commitment to servicing the western suburbs of Melbourne.

The firm's decision to establish a presence of lawyers in the western suburbs of Kellor, Footscray, Sunshine and Werribee was in response to the changing needs of clients, according to Slater & Gordon's Victorian general manager Cath Evans.

"It's a very exciting time for the firm and for the region of western Melbourne," Evans said. "The new office in Werribee will fill a vital gap for Slater & Gordon clients in the region."

The new Werribee office is expected to open in early January 2011.
