Area Focus: Coventry - Mid Warks - Coventry law firms doubles in size following significant regional expansion

A Coventry-based law firm is expanding its offer across the region after acquiring three businesses as part of a significant investment in the area.

Askews Legal LLP has recently bought Cocks Lloyd Solicitors in Nuneaton, Smalleys Solicitors in Nottingham and John Mohamed & Co in Bedworth.

The size of the business has doubled as a result of the move, both in terms of revenue and number of employees, which has increased from 60 to 120.

Key to the acquisitions is the desire to maintain the identities of the local businesses, which each have long-standing histories in their towns, while helping them to expand their offer to their communities.

In each case, the existing partners were retiring and wanted their practices to be taken on by someone who would protect the brand and reputation they had spent years developing. All staff and the physical office locations have been retained and retiring partners are assisting with the transitions.

Askews Legal LLP is a highly accredited, Legal 500 recommended, full-service law firm, taking care of legal matters across criminal law, civil litigation, commercial property, public family law, conveyancing, wills, estates and trust, and all aspects of corporate and employment law.

By pooling resources across the group, clients in Nuneaton, Bedworth and Nottingham will now have access to a wider range of legal services via their local firm of solicitors.
