With the firm’s strength in Private Client and Family Law we will have the opportunity to broaden the legal services we currently offer our high-net-worth clients. This expertise together with our acknowledged calibre in company work, commercial litigation, property, lending and employment will increase and widen the experience of our team to the benefit of our clients.”
