Marneya at Rothera Bray guided us through every stage with clarity and genuine care for what we were trying to build.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a first-time business owner, I needed a solicitor who could translate complex legal matters into plain English and keep things moving at pace, and that&#8217;s exactly what we got. I wouldn&#8217;t hesitate to recommend Marneya and the team to any entrepreneur taking that first leap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Marneya Chauhan said: &#8220;I\u2019m delighted to have advised Sprog on securing their new premises at Wellington Place. This marks an exciting milestone for the business, and I\u2019m pleased to have supported them in bringing this transaction to a successful completion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSprog&#8217;s innovative concept will be a fantastic addition to the development, complementing the existing occupiers while providing a valuable new facility for local families. I wish the team every success with their launch and look forward to seeing the business thrive.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New venue will bring soft play, food and
