Askews was formed 12 years ago by Pritpal Chahal, Kuljeet Sandhu and Teerath Gill. While the founders always had their sights set on growth, they first wanted to establish a solid foundation, based on high levels of expert, yet personal, support for a full range of legal matters.

During the past decade, the founding partners have been joined by more than 60 employees representing a variety of ages, backgrounds and sectors to become a diverse and supportive team. The partners’ team has also been strengthened by the addition of Lianne Payne.

Practice Manager Pritpal Chahal said: “We felt the time was right to accelerate our plans for growth and these acquisitions are a massive step forward. We put a lot of time and effort into finding the right businesses to bring into the Askews group, and equally, they had to choose us too.

“The partners at Cocks Lloyd, Smalleys and John Mohamed & Co have all put their heart and soul into these businesses over many years and they didn’t want them to be swallowed up by a big regional business. It was important to them to see their names and reputation continue because they have built up so much respect in their communities, and we are also keen to see that continue.

“The acquisitions allow us to expand the Askews offering into new locations, while bringing more legal services to the Nuneaton, Bedworth and Nottingham areas.”

Askews will also be looking to bring efficiency improvements to the three businesses, including going fully digital to improve profitability, as well as adding flexibility to employees around their working locations.

The business has also built a bespoke online debt recovery platform – Debt-Claims.com – which enables businesses to recover debt in a just a few clicks via an affordable legal route and a new HR service - HR Geniewhich provides a one-stop solution for SMEs looking for technological support with employment record management and storage.
