TALBOTS Law bosses have revealed the next stage of their expansion with the acquisition of Worcester law firm Scaiff LLP.
It’s the third such acquisition for Talbots in the past 12 months and marks the firms arrival into the city.
All 16 staff are being retained and plans are now in place to recruit 10 more solicitors and administrative employees.
There will also be significant investment in sympathetically refurbishing the Grade II listed offices on Foregate Street.
Scaiff LLP managing partner Simon Shaw, said:
“Talbots Law is one of the region’s fastest growing law firms. It shares the same commitment to personal service and a passion for helping local people that we do.
“Our clients will benefit from having access to a larger team and new legal specialisms we haven’t been able to offer before.
“We are bringing considerable personal injury expertise to Talbots, which I know is an area it’s keen to grow in.”
Dave Hodgetts, Talbots Law Chief Executive said:
“Whilst we’ve got offices in Kidderminster and Bewdley, we’ve never had a high street presence in Worcester
“This acquisition gives us an immediate footprint in a city and area rich in potential.
“Scaiff LLP has been operating here for more than 30 years and has a proven track record of offering family, personal injury, wills and probate and residential conveyancing services to local people.”
The acquisition was arranged by David Sparkes from independent M&A brokering specialist Millbourn Ross.
